So much good ale, so little time!

We did put in a full day at the Maritime Museum, sifting through their collection of C. Fox Smith material. Found some very nice contemporary reviews of her works, some photographs that I've never seen, and a few that I've only seen rendered as photocopies of photocopies. There were also a few miscellaneous poems that need to be checked out and some short stories. Alas, no personal journal.

Chris Roche was working with me. So we got to check over everything twice, and had excellent conversations over lunch and dinner. Tomorrow Chris has kindly invited me for a ride over to Chatham to check out what's left of the old naval shipyard.

Saturday I may even get a chance to wander around a few old corners of Greenwich!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
