Monday,
Jan 4th - To Stow and Bourton. One of the finest hoar frosts I have
ever seen. Trees encased in rime from top to bottom. Afternoon
sun made no impression on it.
Wednesday,
Jan 6th - Frost and fog continue with another slight fall of snow. A
disappointing letter from Dr Barton. With capital my income amounts
to £1?700 p. a. (including earnings at Cokethorpe and Mary’s
capital). Ought with this income to have more cash. Ought to try to
economise, but how?
