Chelsea. - Spedding mentioned FitzGerald's 'pious attempt to get down to Chelsea, and how it foundered', and hopes his next visit might have better luck. Servant trouble; Jane Carlyle has had a bad cold; they think of taking a short visit to Hampshire soon. Never thought of writing about Bunyan at all. '“Rhadamanthus” would be a much likelier subject;—in fact if there were any “documents” procurable about R., or any ground to go upon, he were precisely the fellow for me! The world’s main want, as I read it, is a Rhadamanthus, at this very time.' Has been doing a great deal of reading.
'Ireland is a perpetual misery to me; lies like a kind of nightmare on my thoughts, little as I personally have to do with it...'; discusses the famine and what should be done about it.
