CHAP, in.] Extracts from Diary. 117 



Jan. 13th. I spent the day at Slough. Dietrich came 

 for the evening to assist at a concert. I was shocked to 

 see him so much worse, but I was obliged to see him return 

 to town the next morning with Fr. Griesbach. I was pre- 

 vented by my own illness and the severity of the weather 

 from going to see him in town, and 



Feb. 5th. I sprained my ankle in coming home in the 

 evening from Slough, by attempting to walk through the 

 snow in pattens, and my brother was obliged to send me 

 work to Upton, for it was not till a fortnight after, that I 

 could walk again, and I felt the effects of the accident for 

 above three months after. 



Mar. 9th. I went to Slough to work with my brother. 

 His family were from home. Much work was done during 

 the time, but the polishing the forty-foot was interrupted 

 on the 24th by the hot weather. 



Oct. 2nd. Alex left Slough. I was very ill, and had Dr. 

 Pope to attend me. 



Oct. 9t/i. Dismissed Pope and went to Dr. Phips. 



Oct. 17th. My nephew went to Cambridge. His mother 

 and Miss Baldwin remained in lodgings at Cambridge. 



Nov. 20th. Phips pronounced me out of danger from 

 becoming blind, which he ought to have done much sooner, 

 or rather not to have put me unnecessarily under such 

 dreadful apprehension. 



Dec. 6th. Dietrich went to London for the winter.
