WEDNESDAY 23rd MAY 1888

Morning - Walked over to Draycott in reply to note received from Mr Coventry to see him regarding sale at Whitehurst Farm near Dilhorn to fix date etc.

Home for dinnner.

Rest of day in office inventing eyelet shields to safety pin, got the idea from a button (patent), which I cut off a pair old pants lying by road side at Draycott. So posted off a sample to Invention Office tonight.
