May 29 + 

Have returned to London and the B.M. My first day at the M. Sat at my table in a state of awful apathy. + 

At least temporarily, I am quite disenchanted of Zoology. I work⁠—God save the mark⁠—in the Insect Room! + 

On the way home, purchased:⁠— + 

Peroxide of hydrogen (pyorrhoea threatened). One bottle of physic (for my appalling dyspepsia). + 

One flask of brandy for emergencies (as my heart is intermittent again). + 

Prussic acid next. + 

Must have been near pneumonia at R⁠⸺. Auntie was nervous, and came in during the night to see how I was. + 
