Mr and Mrs Davies left for Hellidon this morning. Austin Gardner drove them in wagonette and pair. The snow is still rather thick on the ground.

Rev. F. Garrard of Brailes came about the girl Edith Lines. He quite understood the matter, but his wife took the girl’s word that she was qualified to leave school. They will take a sister of hers for a time. The mother of the child (Joshua Lines’s wife) came to me in the evening and I explained matters to her. She expressed herself as quite satisfied. I gave her a soldier’s overcoat for her husband.
