Noting that he "used to think, having plenty to say was a grand thing; but now [he] find[s] it rather worse than having nothing"; comparing his current project to a "mass of mud and street-sweepings": "at what corner to begin is and has long been a desperate mystery! For most part, I stand leaning on my shovel, looking at it with mere helpless dismay, unable to strike in anywhere with decision or fixed purpose"; arranging a financial transaction; noting that "Miss Brightwell's etchings" need dates on them.
