20 August 1849 – 26 August 1849

Eugene P. calls and we walk westward and into Hyde Park. In Piccadilly we meet .; ^J^j Leigh Hunt and I greet him. As we say good-bye Eugene Patmore says, ' I am very glad to have seen Leigh Hunt — he's much pleasanter-looking than I expected, — an excellent face.' Leigh Hunt is now | jr sixty-five. If I ever have any doubts about him, they It ^ ^ vanish at one glance of his eye.
