WEDNESDAY 11th JANUARY 1888

Arranged with Lowndes to have a rehearsal of Panorama on Friday night at 8:30 within Boys schoolroom.

Went down to Brookhouse and told F. Hordern.

Arranging with Machin re printing tickets for lecture. No pink tickets to be got here.

Payne says he will take us to Kingsley or Oakamoor and back for 4/- Alton 5/-.

Bert cannot dry the sheets she has just washed for it, it has been so foggy all day.

Notes:
1) F. Hordern - was this Frank Hordern? Alfred Hordern was John's brother-in-law, married to his sister Hannah. In 1900, John had a daughter whom he called Hannah Hordern Alcock. She was later known as Nancy.
2) Pink tickets - was that a joke?
3) Bert was the name that John called his wife Alberta.
