Wordsworth, Dorothy. - Journal from 14th February 1802 to 2 May 1802.

Tuesday May 4th

William had slept pretty well & though he went to bed nervous & jaded in the extreme he rose refreshed. I wrote the Leech Gatherer for him which he had begun the night before & of which he wrote several stanzasin bed this Monday morning.....

Monday 15th February 1802

I was starching small linen all the morning. It snowed a good deal & was terribly cold. After dinner it was fair, but I was obliged to run all the way to the foot of the White Moss to get the least bit of warmth into me. I found a letter from C - he was much better - this was very satisfactory but his letter was not an answer to William's which I expected. A letter from Annette. I got tea when I reached home & then set on to read German. I wrote part of a letter to Coleridge, went late to bed & slept badly.
