Tuesday 22nd July



Rose early & rode to Milfield Hill 26 miles.  The dear child whose illness caused my Journey, whom I had not seen since she was the picture of annimation, health & loveliness, expired on her Mothers knee, three hours [underlined] before I arrived!!!  My occupation during the remainder of the week was not of a description to find a place in this Journal, nor had it any connection with the business of the Hospital farther than the receiving from & transmitting some Letters to the Office at Dilston upon needful transactions.
