Friday 3rd. Mr Gully Missionary brought an ill looking dirty
woman. but she refused to stay, saying she "did not
like the looks of the place". He seemed greatly discouraged

Saturday 4th. Elizth Williams is very unwell through staying
too long in the bath.

Sunday 5th. Misses Jones & Winter held divine service

The inmate have had an extra share of pears today
as they, being so ripe, would not keep any time.
its evident that fruit is cheaper than phisic.

cheerfull. Isabella Campbell was the only one
absent from service and prayers, on the plea of
sickness. she was told the Doctor wd. be sent for, to settle what
Matron considered a doubtfull case.
