We heard that Mr. John Young was married a short time back to Mrs Rawlins at Ryde, Mr. Young is nearly 74 years of age. In the evening mother arrived home from Ryde, Uncle and Aunt still very ill.

Mother received a letter from Fareham, Uncle Thomas also sent for Mother to come to Ryde as Aunt was very ill. In the afternoon I drove Mother in the donkey cart to Ryde, I called and saw Cousin William and family, they were all quite well but I am sorry to say Uncle and Aunt were both very ill, I arrived home about 5 o’clock. I then went into Newport for some bread. About half past 8 o’clock Mr.G.C. called to see us , we spent a very pleasant evening.
