Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

1877, December 11, Tuesday 

Visited school this morning.

Received note from Clerk to Board of Guardians of Shipston-on-Stour Union recommending that Austin should appear before the board. Called at his house and saw the boy who looks very bad indeed, and is evidently quite unfit for work. Left note for R Austin with his mother.

Visited Widow Cakebread and Ezra Hillman.

1877, December 12, Wednesday

Mr Turner called in response to a note I sent him and arranged to summon a Library Committee meeting for tomorrow evening at 7 o’clock.

Divine Service this evening, 72 persons present.

Wrote to J M Clabon, 21 Great George Street, Westminster, asking for grant from Miss Rebecca Hussey’s Book Charity. This is the second application I have made to him on behalf of our Lending Library.
