Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

Bonner and his wife came to remove Sally Green’s goods. I went in with them and took an inventory. Mrs Stock came and took some tea, soap etc for 2/- owing for rent, and Bonner gave the rest of the perishable articles to John Wilks for carrying the goods into Miss Dix’s premises.

I afterwards visited Stock and his wife to condole with them. Isaac Padbury’s wife their only surviving child was there.

I sent a copy of the inventory of Sally Green’s goods to Bonner. There was 2/2 in money which the poor old creature had saved up to pay her grocer. Bonner afterwards told me he paid it over to him.

Preached Harvest Thanksgiving at Balscote Church this evening. It was beautifully lighted and decorated and was filled with people. I afterwards took supper with Izatt, his wife and one or two ladies at the Orphanage at Balscote.
