Friday 4th. At Musm. from ½ past 9. till 5 oC. Part of this time
I was employed in the MS. room, in takg ^extracts for an analysis of the
Comedy of Babio for Mr Whyte, & afterwards for an hour & ½
in Mr.
Forshall‘s room, trying the experiment of gall# ^[by Mr. Petrie’s wish] on the ^Cott. MS#
^Tib. A. XV. containing Alcuin’s letters. It succeeds very badly, in fact
I think the galls make #####the writing more illegible. We are to try again tomorrow.
I wrote to Bliss yesterday respecting my book-box, which
has not yet arrived. Nothing has been decided respectg
the situation at the Museum. I fear I have no chance.
I wish the Ab’p. would decide, for I want to send a
letter to dear M. In the Green Park with Henry till
9 oC. & then at Royal Institn. where I read the last
No. of Gents Mag. and the Supplement.
