THURSDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 1888

Morning - Various home work and in town on Beer Business.

Afternoon - To Woodhead Hall to see Mr S. Allen Esq and fixed on Thursday the 8 March for my lecture.

From Woodhead Hall to Dimmingsdale via High Shut. Charlesworth away so left note that Cull wanted to see him before 5 March as case comes on then.

The country is covered with snow and the East wind is piercingly cold today.

Dimmingsdale would be a grand and warm spot for a poultry farm and fish culture combined.

Home via Greeman Inn and Counslow Pot.

Evening - Put advert regarding lecture in press. Mr Thacker called at Walton Villa and left Rakeway specification with dad with verbal instructions to proceed. So I took it up to Williams and handed it over to him.
