1895, February 5, Tuesday
Bright and sunny, but still intensely cold. Water freezes in kitchen, etc. Ground has fortunately been covered with snow for a week or two.
Mrs Jewell called this evening about the land. I told her I could not say anything about the matter till I could confer with Mrs Stevens, as I did not think we should like anyone as a tenant for the cottage except our own man servant.
Received a letter from Miss Anderdon offering to give Frank £130 a year toward his expenses at Keble College. Frank says she told him he must look upon her as a “second mother”. Truly God is gracious. Bell is going to stay a day or two with Mrs Lindsay Page at Chislehurst and is to visit Miss Anderdon and Mr and Mrs Fisher.
