Mr. Oddie called this evening with his two boys. He had had the name “Holly Mount” put up on the house opposite which he has recently bought of (?Wrench). I told him that the proper name of the house, according to the Award of the parish, is the “Slathouse” – par excellence – probably all the rest were thatched.
Wrote to Imperial Assurance company a day or two ago asking what they would advance me on my Argus policy for £500. They wrote to say they would lend me £120 at 5% if interest were paid at proper time, but 7% if it were delayed. I wrote again and asked for a loan of £120. I am much grieved at having to do this.
