Lamenting writer's block, noting that he "can not conceive another story" and that he feels "barren, sterile." Mentioning that he has begun to read "Germinal." Discussing Hedlam's ball, noting that he will not be attending it and stating "my dancing days are over & even the disrespectability of my partner wouldn't be sufficient temptation now." Praising Moore's energy, and further lamenting that "the ideal world ... would be one in which one can see clean paper without wishing to spoil it & woman without wanting to kiss her!"
