Thursday 6th. Got to the Musm. at ½ past nine. Past
an hour in the MS. rooms, ^extracting from MS. Cott. Tib. A. XX. I also & saw Mr Forshall, & had###
a conference, with him respectg Tib. A.XV. one of the burnt
MSS. which Petrie wishes in part transcribed. Mr F. was
extremely civil. Afterwards had a long conversation with
Mr Ellis, who talked about David Powell, & promised to
use his influence in getting me to a sight of David‘s
pictures, &c. I remained in the Book Departmt.
till ½ past four in order to compensate for the hour
I had taken upstairs. Walked to Westmr. & called on
Palgrave, but he was not at home. Dined with Henry as
usual, & spent the Ev’g in the Green Park de more.
The lady at No 104 is not yet gone away, so I must
get into lodgings as soon as I can, for the little room
I occupy at present I find very inconvenient.+
