RJ has seen John Herschel off at Portsmouth: 'They had 30 passengers on board - 7 of them ladies many apparently agreeable people and every prospect of beginning happily what they wisely determine to consider altogether a party of pleasure'. RJ called on Julius Hare and saw some of his pictures - 'He has several of the Venetian school - splendid specimens of coloring but I think (I am no great connoisseur) only two really first rate pictures one the portrait of a man by Giorgione [Giorgio Barbarelli Giorgione] - The other the Madonna - it is perhaps a Raphael - undoubtedly of his school'. Hare's pictures and mansion must have cost a great deal. However, 'His country is I think ugly and his neighbourhood I suspect bad'.
