2nd line Indecipherable word is Strachan
Annie Richardson gone as house-keeper to Mr. John Brown of Walleroo
I'm finding this journal book a bit more challenging because of the page structure listing the number of pupils for each weekday. I've now realised that the pupil count belongs to the day above, even though it's on the same line as the next day. Some transcribers have added the number of pupils as a new line after the relevant day's entry, before starting a new paragraph for the next day. I think this makes it easier to read/understand once it's posted, and seems to be closer to the original intent of the writer.
