Describes his last days at Fonthill Castle. Transcription: everything by numbers. From my soul I detest his [Napoleon ?s] memory, & am right glad to think he was fairly licked at Waterloo by the old Duke, Tory though he be I do honor [Arthur] Wellington. [words crossed out] 28. Saturday. To the rock & copse fronting the Castle, sketching foreground for picture, spite of the intense annoyance by insects. [Johann Wolfgang von] Goethe ?s right I ?m sure in making Mephistopheles lord of ?em. And old Giulio Cordaro, who wrote a book to prove that insects weren ?t inhabitants of Paradise, but created afterwards to our annoyance, hath reason on his side in the former matter, though he manifests a strange idea of Deity by the latter assertion. Drawing in the afternoon. Evening bathe, as wont. 29. Sunday. To the bathing spot & the Castle, in unsuccessful search for lost knife and crayon holder. Drawing on despite intense heat & exasperating flies in the afternoon. Bathe at sunset. 30. Monday. Drawing all the morning & part of the afternoon, when I completed the Fonthill Castle sketch on wood. Made an essay at afternoon bathing, tide too far out. Sate on bar. An number of ?ǣteamsters ? brawling. Supped. (I remember not the name of the quaint old worthy quoted by Izaak Walton, who said that ?ǣdoubtless God might have made a better fruit than the strawberry, but he never did. ?) Bathe, and later on the cliffs afterwards. Wrote an article, for accompanying the ?ǣMachine ? picture for [Thomas W.] Strong. July. 1. Tuesday. Paid up & embarked aboard the little Arrow, and to New York. Called at Robinson Street, & Chamber Street. Thence to [Henry] Holt ?s, where I saw him, with others proceeding up stairs to the slaughter of small dog, presumed to be rabid. Learnt that Mr [Henry] Hart & Dillon [Mapother] were, as I had anticipated at Middletown, Jersey. To [John N.] Genins; he out of town for a day or so. To Strongs. Then by a signboard finding that [Warren] Butler had abandoned
