The Journal of Edward Ward 1850-51

Monday, April 21st

Fine, fresh day—hot towards noon and afternoon, sufficiently so to make white trousers agreeable. Went early page 172to the Island with Willy, the shingler & Abernethy, taking six bundles of laths and two barrels. Stayed only a few minutes and was back by eleven o'clock to hear Mr Phillips' case on the Bench, he being summoned for the recovery of a deposit left with him by his servant. In the afternoon went on board the Travancore and dined. Hamilton engaged there all day fishing. Henry reports well of the new calf-he went to see her at Manson's yesterday. The cow gives three and a half gallons per diem. The kittens are beginning to run about the floor.
