We had the pot brought in – first time a great convenience.

At four incur[red] a cross think[ing] loosely of M-, as I always do now when she serves me for these purposes – which I do not now give way to very often. But I have had no opportunity of putting anything on nor have I washed once, so that my shift is one clot and my hair is clotted together – and this and the friction of jolting brought on erection which, as I lay conveniently down in the bottom of the kibitka and A- sleeping, I did not discourage. Found myself very large at night and glad of a wash and to get rid of my clotted chemise. Never such a thing occurred to me in my life before.
