Thursday, July 15, 1886 Went to the 11 oclock train to meet Weir but he was delayed and did not reach here until nearly 1. We took a walk out on the commons. He finds great consolation in his peculiar beliefs but his thoughts I could follow only in a general way. I am willing to concede much which he advances but much of it is intangible to me. Still he seems hopeful and cheerful and he has many anxieties. He seems to believe a way will be opened to us out of every difficulty and if a way is not opened to us then that is best for us. I feel quite sure of this but somehow it does not make me contented nor happy. I realise that much of my unhappiness is in anticipation and if I were at work I am sure I should escape much of this. I feel very idle and yet have not the heart to do any thing in Art. I seem to be utterly empty in that direction.
