Took baths at Ragaz. Longmans came there on the 22nd. September 10th. Sir Henry Holland dined with us. He had just been to Nijni Novgorod, and was starting for Naples. He died as soon as he got back, on October 27th. This was the last time I saw him. He was then eighty-five. To Bracknell in September. September 27th. To Christchurch. Ordered fences for Foxholes. October 3rd.
"They put some in, but it is all gone." "Directly, I will ask one of the convoy men. Now we shall not see each other till we get to Nijni." "Why?

Louis is indebted to the Mississippi and Missouri; the position which Corientes will soon owe to the Parana and the Paraguay. Nijni lies at the very centre of that water communication which joins the Caspian and the Black Sea to the White Sea and the Baltic, and which, were it always summer, might almost have enabled Russia to dispense with roads and railroads.
This did not trouble them, but they were concerned lest anything that the law required in such cases should be omitted.
