Frank told me that there was a general desire that yesterday's sermon should be printed, & suggested that I should leave the MS. with the Domestic Bursar for that purpose. I did this, & at the same time returned to him his Anson letters. Then I walked round to the Clarendon Press, & had an interview with one of the officials with respect to the Anson Memoir. After this, I went back to the Warden's Lodgings. We left at noon, and motored to the Dillons, where we lunched very pleasantly. Then we continued our journey as far as Charlton Kings, where we had tea with the Smiths. We went on again at 5.30 p.m., and got back to Hereford through Gloucester and Ross by 7.50 p.m. The weather was lamentable, rain falling ceaselessly all day.

The "Times" today contains the Bishop of Norwich's letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, & his Grace's reply. In all 10 bishops had signed the Norwich letter, which is a poor thing in itself, but important as being a stoke on the right side. Its appearance may be taken to indicate that the unquestioned dominance of the "Catholicks" has ended.

Old Prebendary Jellicorse, aged 89, sends me his resignation of the prebend in the Cathedral which he has held since 1892.
