Text, letter

Received letter from my cousin William Green of Highlands. Sarisbury, Southampton, whom I have not seen for many years, saying that his daughter Maude was staying with Rev E Banks, Coleshill Vicarage Highworth, Wilts and would like to call on us before returning home. Bell wrote her an invitation. I replied to her father to that effect.

Signed for Harry in witness of his signature on a mortgage of his Policy (£200) for a loan of £5 to pay this year’s premium to the Clergy Mutual. I have paid every farthing of premium for him hitherto and fine of 5/- this year. He was unable, he said, to pay this year’s premium. I suggested that he should try to borrow on the policy enough to pay the premium of £5, which the office at once agreed to do.

Frank drove Mrs Page and her son to Banbury with my mare and carriage.
