| Evidence: | 1 December 1884, from Canford:
'While Enid [daughter] was here she spent a good deal of time making a miniature drawing in
water colours of one of the fine pictures in the drawing room, and while she drew I read to
her one of those amusing gossiping letters of Horace Walpole on my subjects [i.e. ceramics
connoisseurship], about which I have all the Hogarth and all the Wedgwood books here [...]
Besides that I have done very little except read some part of Cooke's Memoirs, and I am now
amusing myself with Froude's Carlyle.' |
