Monday 24th.
We are very busy finishing the
Steamers washing. its been quite
an effort this month, owing to so
many being ill with the cold - and five
of the healthy ones, are almost worthless, so that
our numbers of workers at present is small.

Teusday, 25th.
Revd J. Robinson called to say, he had
bought 3 yds of flannel for Julia Gibson
which a porter would bring in course of the day.
on its arrival I called her and exhibiting the
flannel said. heres a present for you, who do you
think its from? "I am sure I dont know,
nor can I guess, unless its from you"? when
I said Mr. Robinson sent it, tears came in her
eyes, said "how very kind of him, perhaps it will
be the means of saving my life" &c -
