Tilly made herself useful not only in our home but those of Brodie and Auld and proved to be a real help. Jany 16 Thankful I can again bend my head without pain. The woods are a glorious sight. It snowed yesterday morning. Before dark the snow turned to rain, which froze as it fell, encrusting everything.
There's five of the Lawsons to begin with I suppose they'll all come Bill Huff and Jany, that's seven " "That Bill Huff is as good-natured a fellow as ever broke ground," remarked Mr. Van Brunt.

However away I went to Missolonghi, and anchored off the Town on the 23rd of Jany. observing ten sail of Turkish men of war to leeward, went on shore, and with much difficulty we poked our way through the narrow channels of this extraordinary place, there being a low flat of sand turning out from the land about seven miles; it seems to be the only defence the town has.
The only chance of seeing him would be if he could dine and sleep a night at Clumber on his way to Liverpool. Unfortunately I must be all day on the 16th at Newark on County business.
