Mr Thomson [depositor] has also two diaries kept by his grandmother, but the entries are very brief; these have also been wirtten up in the Beds Times. They are similar in size to those of Catherine Maclear. One is Marshall's Ladies Fashionable Repository for 1829 bound in red leather' p1. First Company came to Eaton on New Years Day ( ?1830 ) was Ladey [sic] Drummond. Duke of Rutland's daughter gave me 5s. p2. Paid Mother for Children 5 Janry. £3 18s half years board. p4. Lent Brother David 30 (and 2 other loans) p6. Mrs Walker died Oct.28,1831, buried Nov.4 1831. Miss Walker & Miss Susannah Walker came in on that day. p7. Frebruary 23. Mar(?quis) Queens Bury Left a ring. The rest of the book is almost entirely blank, till th Cash Account, where there are a few items, such as "Paid Mother"; "Decanters 6s"; "stockings 7s 6d"; "lase 5s 6d"; "stays 7s." On front flyleaf: "Martchiness of harford; straw mattress taking out of room" The other is the Christian Lady's Pocket Book, 1803, similar in make-up, but all the diary pages have been cut out.
