FRIDAY 13th JANUARY

New Market

Morning - Went over to Kingsley to see about piano for next Monday. Could not get one nor musicians.

Home again and in Market.

Odd jobs re Diorama and went all over Cheadle for a bit of quick lime for Lowndes.

Evening - Rehearsal in Boys School room all the quire boys there, also Bert, Ursula, Fanny Yates and Mona.
Lecture all right but I want a few more views about 6 to make it long enough.
Frank Hordern came but would not play piano because boys were there.

Notes:
1) Quicklime
2) Mona was John's younger sister - Amelia Mona Walton Alcock, born 1864
3) The Ursula mentioned was probably John's daughter who was 3 at the time. John also had a sister Ursula, aged 44, although I think she lived in Stoke in 1888.
