Scope and content
Fr[yston]. - No stray box at present. There have been 'four clearances this week': Mary's; to the Dow[ager Lady] G[alway] at Bath, to [R. P. Milnes's sisters at] Torquay, & to J. Melville tonight. The next is to Georgy M[onckton], '& his must be 40 peaches, ofr each of the 27 boys in the house to have one, & Mr Rosen & Mr Jerdein the rest'
At dinner last night there was a 'terrific storm - the lightning killed a woman at the station - &, still more horrible, the hail stones broke 900 panes of our glass'.
