Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Caroline much enjoyed her time with Elizabeth and her visit from Robert; hopes that Wallington will give her the strength she lacks. The garden is very beautiful: they have a 'fine new greenhouse' where they have dianthus 'worthy of Kew'. Read [Samuel] Butler's "Alps and Sanctuaries" at Welcombe, and understands why so many went out to 'follow in his footsteps'; Butler is 'unique' and 'not less amusing for his extravagancies and absurdities'; Sir Charles Holroyd has been to visit, and gave them a fine account of when he 'as a young art student used to go on [Butler's] tramps with him round London'.
