23 December 1877 — Constantinople | |
Sunday. 23rd [December 1877]. I was not well eno’ to go to church so I employed my time in cutting out the gold paper letters wh are to go on the band over the communion table in the church for the Christmas decorations. In the morng two beautiful little wire cages with ivory ornaments containing 6 birds arrived as a present to me from the Sultan. In the afternoon I took a turn with Henry in the garden & then made him some cigarettes. The Embassy dined with us. | |
