1821

February

Saturday 24

9 1/4

11 35/60

My cold and throat a great deal better – Before breakfast, William took to the post office my letter to Isabella Norcliffe (Langton) –

Came upstairs at 11 10/60 – Dawdling about 1 thing or other till 12 – from then till 4, wrote 3 pages and the ends (pretty closely) to Miss Marsh, and 3 pages and the ends to Mrs. Duffin, meaning to send these letters by Mrs. Empson –

In the afternoon from 4 3/4 to 5 35/60, down the old bank to the library, returned through Northgate –

In the evening, John Robinson came and staid above an hour, to tell my uncle he had agreed about John Howarth’s leaving Pump –

Read over most of the Gentleman’s Magazine for January 1821. Saw nothing in it particularly interesting –

Very fine day – Barometer 3 1/4 degrees below fair – Fahrenheit 41 1/2° at 9 p.m. –

Came upstairs at 10 3/4 doctoring my boil, which does not discharge much but is sore and painful –
