The company will soon being coming to the Quay, which makes our village very lively, as they are continually passing, and frequently come to try for a sight of Sir F[rancis] Boynton's Hall. Sir F and his Lady, it is thought, will be married in town. Lady Boynton dying of a typhus fever. Walked to Lowthorpe House to see Mrs. Hodgson and her daughters - four miles the distance.
