21 January 1878 — Constantinople | |
Monday. 21st January [1878]. It snowed hard & it was very cold. Mr Masters called & gave a dreadful acct of the suffering of the Refugees. Many were frozen to death. Some fell off the top of carriages—some sat on buffers & were killed—mothers in despair threw their dying children out of the carriages &c &c Ahmet Vefyk P. called. Mrs W. Hanson came & Mr Jocelyn to tea & we sang glees. The Hansons dined with us. Received in the evening but no dancing. | |
