25 October 1886 – 31 October 1886

To Aid worth. Hallam. Show him letter from Miss Barnes about her father's death. T. tells the story of a Dog, lost in St. Petersburg, finding its way to its master in the country. Also of a Bastile Prisoner and his lark. It had lived with him in prison ; when he was set free he took the cage out to the fields, and opened the door — the lark hopped out, flew up into the air singing — suddenly stopt, and fell dead at the man's feet.
