Sunday 2 July 1837
Very fine morning Fahrenheit 77 at 9 25/60 and breakfast till 10 - found Mr. Gray at breakfast
Out from 10 to 2 25/60 in the garden and had the gardener there (Conery wood) my piece of Long field and at Walker pit - met with Joseph Mann - mentioning my intending to mask the Conery wood wall (east end) with the pit scale, and lowering the road to Walker pit and then taking down a yard of the wall against the upper Conery wood be a better job at 6d per yard cube then moving the stuff from part of house at 7 1/2d - might it not be done at 5d per yard cube?
Then walked with Joseph Mann to the wheel-race to see about setting up the gin - he is now all for it - thinks it would be set up for £5 if the water pumped off would answer for bottoming the pit (about near 20 yards to sink) in 6 weeks
Returned by Pearson's fields Sown holm and Tilly holm and the walk - walked to the head of the meer and back and found and talking some while to Frank there - came in at 2 35/60
Took the juice of 3 oranges in hot water and off in the carriage (took Mr. Gray and little Mary) to church at 2 3/4 - just in time before the service began
Mr. Bellamy did all the duty - preached 35 minutes from Romans viii. 6. the carnal mind is death the spiritual mind is peace
Then called and sat about 1/2 hour at Cliff hill - home about 5 1/2 - out with Mr. Gray till near 7
Dinner at 7 - sat reading the paper over the dining table Mr. Gray gone out and Ann putting on her things to go with me and little Mary to the meer - did go at 8 40/60 - back in an hour Ann sadly tired told George to make coffee for Mr. Gray and Ann and I came upstairs - she sat with me and curled her hair and did not leave me till 10 25/60 then wrote the above of today - and at accounts
Very fine day Fahrenheit 53 at 11 25/60
