Fair.
Cloudy & mild with light S.W. [Southwest] wind.
  Spent forenoon in house reading.

an attractive place with a paved
courtyard at the rear surrounded by
sheds & stables & reached by a covered
driveway leading directly through the 
house. Visited the old church in
Abington, noteworthy for its 5 aisles.
The poor houses about it most
attractive, with pretty flower gardens.
Saw great numbers of Rooks, Starlings
Swallows & Martins & one flock of
Wood Pigeons. Got back at 6.
George & Bessy came at 8.30 & spent an hour.
My hip has been very lame for the

Bessy J. [Bessy Jefferson] Bessy drove back with me. 
C. is to meet E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] at Bath & to

here next Thursday. I am now nearly
alone at Mrs. Butler's. Spent most
of P.M. down town. Had my hair cut
and looked about among the shops,
book stores etc. but bought nothing
except some tobacco. Prices are lower
here than in London but the goods
are of somewhat inferior quality.
There are lots of interesting book stores.
George & Bessy spent evening with me.
