26^th. Sir J. Herschel, in a letter to the London Times which I have read this morning, speaking incidentally of the climate of Collingwood, Hawkhurst, Kent, says - "the habitual and exceeding purity of the atmosphere in this favoured corner of our island, which is altogether free from smoke, and most commonly so from haze, and (in the absence of actual cloud) quite upon a par (so far as a three years residence will enable me to judge) with that of any region I have visited."

28. Called at Villa Lante and saw Marcella Hynes - visited Mr. Chocarne - a letter from Mrs. Garland - a visit from D^r Butler, also from Abbé Kelly.

Downing, with whom and C. Eyre I had a long walk. The latter tells me that Sharples's appointment has been determined. A card left by Mr. Power and papers by Mr. O'Reilly.

29. Posted with my own hands two letters for Florence - one for Mrs. Garland and one for M. K. enclosing one from Ireland. Called at D. O'Reilly's and at Hogan's studio. Mr. Kelly also called last evening - told me that he wrote to his correspondents from Berbice to say that the subject on which they had written was in the hands of the Propaganda and would receive due attention.
