52 GILBEET WHITE OF SELBORNE 1749 



time between Bradley, where his uncle, who held 

 that living, resided, and Selborne. At this time 

 entries respecting his gun and dogs appear in 

 his account-book, and in May, 1749, "a pair of 

 hunting boots" was purchased, which, judging from 

 the date, could have scarcely been intended for 

 riding to hounds. Visits were paid to Midhurst and 

 Cowdray House, which he showed to his youngest 

 brother, Harry, at this time a boy sixteen years of 

 age. In June a visit was paid to John Mulso at 

 Sunbury Vicarage ; and to Kingmer, whence he re- 

 turned in the middle of August. A little later on 

 a journey "to Kingston with Harry," who was at 

 school there, was made. In September, Winchester 

 and Portsmouth were visited with Mulso. 



It is pleasant to notice that his account-book at 

 this time contains constant entries of gifts to the 

 poor. One of the entries is : — 



"Gave Goody Marshall pair of shoes for nursing me in 

 the small-pox.*'
