994th day
A fine day, but the air almost sultry. I employed myself on this luckless "Memoir", and attended Mattins. After lunch I worked for two hours on the potato–patch. Then I finished Jackson's Memoir of "Ingram Bywater", which may, perhaps, serve as a model in form & scale of my memoir of the Warden. Bywater and Anson died in the same fatal year which witnessed the outbreak of the War, but the last was the more fortunate in that he never lived to see the beginning of the tragedy.
