From: 1778 To: 1778

Difficulty of getting horses at Hitchin; road to Campton rather dirty; no horses at Shefford. "Mrs Pawsey is going back to London either today or tomorrow, and the affair is settled for the present as follows. She and her sister take the house in Newport Street between them, and board the young women; but only for 2 years, in which time it is expected that a set of stools with cushions to accompany the bed will be completed, and the present set of scholars will be out of their time. The Queen will then decide whether 'tis worth while to go on with the institution, which must partly depend on whether they have as much employment for work, patterns etc. as in Mrs Wright's time. Mrs Pawsey thinks she may call here again at Easter and obtain holidays of 2 months during the summer." "The trees cannot be planted yet, I shall explain your meaning to Seccumbe."
