Evidence
1865-07-23: "23. We have at last had letters from Thornie -on Wednesday the 19th they arrived. The news is middling, except that he is in good health. There has been a monetary crisis in the colony, which has made his trading expedition of doubtful result. He says it is of no use to send Bertie out without a little capital, and discourages the prospect of farming in Natal, so that we must now think of Bertie's being a trader. Today we had a good group of visitors and some pleasant talk. George is not yet well; he has been ailing ever since Saturday week! I am going doggedly to work at my novel, seeing what determination can do in the face of despair. Reading Neale's History of the Puritans." Diary 1861-1877 125
