In the afternoon Julia and I went to Newport, in the evening I did a little drawing.
16th Wednesday, - I drove Mother part of the road to Ryde in the donkey cart. On my return I met Mr. Josiah Cooper and had a long gossip with him, after that, I saw Robert and after chatting a short time with him, I resumed my journey. I had not proceeded far before I met Mr.G,C., so I had quite an agreeable morning’s chat with my old friends. I also met Mr.J.G.G. on his pony, but we merely bowed to each other and passed on. We did not go to the “Dramatic Amateur Performances” this evening, it was a very wet and dark evening.
17th Thursday,- I went to Newport this afternoon. Mother gave Julia a volume entitled The Lorn?
