Monday 18th
Eliza Lane behaves much better lately.
I had almost despaired of doing any good with
her, she was so boisterous and cared for nobody,
when all at once, she became [underlined]quiet[underlined] and would pursue her work as if she meant to do it. she is
a clever girl & has good abilities, and make a first
rate servant. Her father was a City
Missionary in London, when she was a little girl and was
married there by Rev'd Stephens. she says that the late
Mrs. J Caldwell was a great friend of her mothers and used
to read and pray with her in her last illness.
Rev'd Stephens married her father to his 2nd wife, in Sydney-
late Mrs J C stood Godmother to her sister about 2 years
younger than Eliza.
