Cavenham. - On the death of Robert Pemberton Milnes; would wish to attend the funeral, but his family have persuaded him to decline out of fear of the cold.

Fryston. - Notes that Fanny 'boast[s]' of her handwriting and writes a paragraph in imitation of it: 'I don't know whether you admire this new style better than my accustomed, but I am keen [?] it is bitter than your ordinary scrawl'. Doesn't expect he will hear from London until Richard appears; Fanny has the 'merit of having drawn him down. I am sure he would not have come her, & faced the Pontefractians in the humour they are in just now''.

The sheep are being sheared today; 'it is the custom always to feed these people'. Mr Waddington will be in Harriet's good books, as he has been voting against Sir Robert Peel. Galway write to him that Lady Ber? is 'so furious against Sir Rob', & so are all the Suffolk farmers, that I suppose it was necessary - indeed Newton told me he would be turned out for the County if he did not. Looks as if there 'has to be fighting in Ireland'.
