Sept: 16.1929.Motored to Thonock, saw and catalogued Sir H. Bacon's Cotmans- The Cat[alogue] is Vol IV of 'Cotmania'.
Sept: 17.1929. Went on to Rokeby - lovely weather tried to identify the 'Harvest Field' - Major M{orritt}. felt it was Rokeby 'atmosphere' but could not identify the spot. I thought it might be the other side of the Greta to the house, N.E. of the house. The small 'church' on the r is puzzling: there was a ch[urch] at the meeting of the waters, but it seems to have been pulled down before the end of the 18th century.
Sept 19, 23. Stayed at Fox Hill. The Leeds Art Gallery has bought the 'Buildwas' watercolour, out of the Harding Bequest. Gladys told me she saw a Cotman watercolour framed and hung in the drawing R[oo]m at Newburgh, c 8 x 12 - trees & a build[ing]?
