Clear and cloudy. Time as usual. Evening at home. H. G. Gorham.

I went to the Office as usual. Time passed in ordinary way. The storm of last night is thought even more severe than that a fortnight since. It certainly had more effect upon my house as it unloosed all the lead on the ridge causing it to leak badly. The damage in the harbour and bay is very great. Home to read Oedipus. Afternoon as usual. H. G. Gorham came in for an hour in the evening. I finished my Lecture again.
