I passed a wretched night. Sunday, 14 Aug. ” Mr. Alston and Turner dined. Saturday, 27 ” ” Turner dined in Baker Street. Said he was going next morning to the Hague.” This entry enables us to date with certainty the “Holland Sketch-Book” (CCXIV) in the National Gallery. Mr. Walter Fawkes died on the 25th of October of this year, probably before Turner got back to London from his tour in Holland. Mrs. Fawkes spent a few days in London in May the following year, and Turner dined with her on two occasions, on Tuesday the 2nd and Sunday the 7th of May. The diary was continued till 31st December, 1838, but I can find no further mention in it of Turner’s name. Thornbury says, “Turner was so sensitive that he could never make up his mind to visit Farnley after his old friend’s death.” And we have Ruskin’s testimony that Turner could never speak of the Wharfe, about whose shores the shadows of old thoughts and long-lost delights hung like morning mist, but his voice faltered. * * * * *
