[steire?] to be doing better instead of worse, in
so doing he fulfills our best & [illeg] destinies.
Wednesday March 14th. Have been to the
Dulwich Gallery, especially rich in Murillo's
& Cuyps - The flower Girl & two pictures of Spanish
Boys by the former artist are particularly fine.
[Illeg] Rembrandt & Rubens each have some
good things there. We walked on about two
miles to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham -
Mr B walked about extensively but I was too
tired to enjoy it at all. It is an immense &
beautifully constructed building the flowers
fountains & trees the most attractive features in
it. Long lines of shops of every variety. I bought
a quantity of Asian Ware [?]. We got home to
a late dinner, found Stevens's & de Brunsun's
cards with Mr Robinson's & the gold bracelets
I ordered at Geneva for New Year's day -
They are much lighter than I expected
but very pretty. Mrs de B wanted us to
go there this evening & Mr S[?est] invites
us to lunch on Friday. Children were
all in the Park this morning.
