After Evensong I called at 67 Cornwall Road to see Robartes, who - as the Warden had informed me - was dying, & desired to see me. I did see him, & we exchanged some converse, but I was unwell, & the atmosphere of a Roman ‘conversion' dismayed me. He asked me to return, & I told his wife that I would do so if she told me I might. Robartes himself is clearly being brought into the true fold by the accustomed means.
On Sunday I was too ill to preach either in the Abbey or in S. Margaret's. Beeching took my place in the one pulpit, Kirshbaum in the other.
