In bed till 3 pm with severe cold in head.
Miss A Stevens and Miss Maria Dix came to tea. Mr Henry Stevens was to come as well as Miss Dix and her sister Sarah – but they walked to the Grange – Mr Page’s in the afternoon and did not get back in time.
In bed all day with bad cold. Total eclipse of moon this evening – very clearly seen.
Fine day. My cold somewhat better, but by no means gone.
Visited Hannah Keene, Mrs Shelswell and Dr Routh who at my request gave me a bottle of physic for my cough.
Visited Miss Dix this evening and paid her money for Girls’ Clothing Club. Miss Stevens got up as usual this morning, but not feeling well, went to bed again. She was out painting all yesterday morning and had Frank with her; so probably she caught a chill. Her brother left on Saturday last.
