Content Description

Today he was confirmed at St. James', Piccadilly, by the Bishop of London. He intends to live a much more religious life than hitherto and will go to communion once a month. He had not realised how much he had sinned. Temptations at the Royal Academy were very strong and toward his confirmation he refused to answer if anyone tried to "talk filth" to him, often though he forgot himself. He intends to be straight forward to their father. He has been admitted to the Academy as a student.
