'In the evening I read to the youngsters out of Peter [Parley?] & then heard Harry read a Page of Macauley. Went into the office & looked over some of the pages of my last year's Diary.'
'Scribbled away for some hours at the Article I was writing. Altered the whole of the Introduction & then let Polly read the Paper. She approved & I felt a little excited & went away to the Argus office with my production at once.'
'Got on in the evening the best way that I could, amusing myself for an hour or more in looking up some old papers & reading through printed papers that I had published from time to time.'
'Commenced as soon as I had been through the Gaol to read some of my Diary for 1871'
