Tuesday, November 8th, 1904.
My Birthday once more. 41 years gone for ever. My Godson wrote affectionately: & Tommie came to see me. There were letters from Carissima, Podge, my old Aunt; & still older Nurse.
Caröe the designer of that odious Farrar monument came to see me, & together we went to the church, & I authorised the erection.
Most part of the morning I wrote letters.
Beeching came in to see me friendly-wise.
Sir H. Graham sent £10 to my Fund for Ellison. I went round to the Choir-House, & left my usual benefaction for the boys.
