28th Monday - General holiday – I went to Newport had a very pleasant ride in the
donkey gig. There was a pleasure seeking party went from Wootton Bridge to Sandown.
Julia was invited to join them but owing to a prior engagement she was obliged to
decline. Mr. Pittis drove one party in Mr. Pophams waggon to a tea party at Ventnor,
and some of our Littletown friends went to Gunville Bazaars. There was also a
tea party in Carisbrooke Castle and another at Wootton Farm, so we were quite gay
by seeing others out pleasure seeking. Fareham Asylum folks had a gypsy party
on Portsdown Hill.
