1862-12-17: "17. At p. 22 only. I am extremely spiritless - dead, and hopeless about my writing. The long state of headache and disordered liver has left me in depression and incapacity. The constantly heavy, clouded and often wet weather, tends to increase the depression. I am inwardly irritable and unvisited by good thoughts. Reading the Purgatorio again, and the Compendium Revelationum of Savonarola ... After this record, I read aloud what I had written of Part IX to George, and he to my surprize entirely approved it." Diary 1861-1877 114
1879-10-14: "Letters from Mrs. Stuart and Edith. Drive. Purgatorio." Diary 1879 184
