6 February 1878 — Constantinople | |
Wednesday. 6th [February 1878]. Worked hard all the morng long having a lot to copy for Henry as Mr Kennedy went away to Naples with Arthur for change of air. It is discovered that the Russians have taken possession of the lines of Beuyuk Chekmejeh & Bulair & driven out the Turks so that they can walk into Constantinople any moment. General indignation at the feeling we have been made such fools of by Russia & all is now too late. We played tennis in the afternoon. | |
