| Description | Sad that he did not come to the wedding of Anna Lowe to Edward Carroll. Not many relatives attended, including Tabitha Lowe who couldn't come because of the baby. Sixteen sat down to dinner at home and partook of Grandfather's hare. The Carrolls have "a comfortable little habitation next door to ours"; even so Elizabeth finds this "partical separation [from her sisters] very trying", though she thinks E.C will make Anna "a most affectionate companion" and approves of him on the whole. They have begun again their French in the forenoon and in the evenings they like to read. Mother is well. His bride cake will be sent to the White Hart, Shipston. Concern J.B.L's being unwell so frequently [He lived to the age of ninety]. |
