Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

1894, September 7, Friday 

Fine but cold. Visited Miss Sabin. Walked round “Elm” with Frank this evening. Met Dr Routh and had a long talk with him. He thanked me very warmly for “all I had done for him and his late wife”. Much more than was desired, for I had not had opportunity of doing much.

1894, September 8, Saturday

Bright. Cold. Windy. Heavy rain early this morning. Inns was working at overflow pipe of house cistern all morning but did not finish. He says it is choked and hard to get at.

1894, September 9, Sunday 

xvi Trinity. Fine, bright, dry, windy, cool. Though the “Gospel tent” is open, there were 150 persons at church this morning. Bell and I called on Miss Dix after church this afternoon and had a cup of tea with her. Only Daisy was with her. Miss Sarah Dix and Louie are at Bournemouth. Mary Thame, who is housekeeper for Dr Routh played the organ this morning. Annie Inns played this afternoon.
