Three kisses better to her than to me
Very fine morning – Fahrenheit 49˚ at 8 1/2 a.m. – breakfast at 8 1/2 – at Goodramgate church at 10 35/.. – Miss Walker and I and Thomas stayed the sacrament – almost all the congregation staid and though the church too small to hold many the service took 40 minutes –
The first time ever joined Miss Walker in my prayers I had prayed that our union might be happy she had not thought of doing as much for me –
Called for a minute or 2 in the minster yard to say we would dine there at 5 1/2 – declined going to hear the fine anthem (at 4) in the minster – walked to the village of Heworth and by the Stockton road back in an hour – and at monk-bar church at 2 1/2 – the clergyman preached (25 minutes) who read the prayers in the morning
I asleep and knew nothing of the sermon now or in the morning –
Sat talking – dressed – off to Dr Belcombe’s at 5 1/4 – nobody but ourselves – dinner about 5 1/2 – coffee tea – home at 10 1/2 – sat up talking till 12 1/2 tonight – very fine day –
Mr Willoughby Crewe has thought about and recommended getting Hamlyn Milne out to Australia under the company of that settlement
