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.'
