MONDAY 12th NOVEMBER 1888

To Hanley with Bert to see Stokes (G.R.) regarding Joseph? Stevenson's, London patent agents character. Had tea at Longton at Jim Goodwin's.

Evening - to Bostock's and Wombwell's menagerie.

Notes:
1) A menagie was an early form of zoo/circus. Bostock's and Wombwell's seems to have been a travelling one. Here are some interesting links:
