[[left margin]] II-11-37 [[/left margin]] Mrs. Bonell has invited us to Derry for the weekend, so today was spent doing errands and packing. Just before tea Ed and I went up to Hope Gardens to have a more thorough look at the collection. After tea we joined in for a game of badminton. After dinner we went to call on the Edwards: The subjects of conversation and remarks about Ed's visit I am going to discuss in the first part of Volume 7 (which see).
[[left margin]] II-12-37 [[/left margin]] At nine o'clock we set out with a carfull of baggage to meet Mrs. Bonell at Mendes Pen, near Old Harbour: As we arrived we had a puncture, but quickly changed the tire. Then Ed changed over to Mrs. Bonell's car, and we followed them to a place on Milk River, past Four [[strikethrough]] Roads [[/strikethrough]] Paths and Tollgate, where we ate lunch. Then we followed up Figurary Gully and along a side road to Kensworth Estate, near Newport. This is a (?) utrus estate belonging to the Bonell's. If we like it better than Derry, we can stay there for as long as we wish. We had Tea here, and then went on to Derry by way of Mandeville. After dinner we played a little bagatelle, caught a few [[underlined]] Pyrophorus [[/underlined]] that came in to light, and went to bed very early. The beds are springless, but we may be able to get used to them.
