Caröe went after an early breakfast, in the course of which he gave me much rather disconcerting information about Macartney & his methods. Raleigh took his departure at 11 a.m. for Edinburgh. Bishop Nickson came to talk to me about arranging my stable as a motor garage. I wrote a series of letters, & so frittered away the morning.

In the afternoon I attended Evensong in the Cathedral, walked with Logic, & had a long interview with Bishops Tucker and Tugwell. The latter is very decided in his condemnation of the liquor traffic in Southern Nigeria, & protests eagerly against Morel's laudation of the Mohammedans in that part of Africa.

Noel came & wrote letters after dinner.

Dr Edward Moore & his wife arrived by the late train. They are spending a 'sabbatical year' in Europe.
