_March 28th._—The MSS. and astronomical books in general were removed out of the observatory above stairs and lodged in my brother’s library. This alteration proved to be an additional clog to my business (which besides was daily increasing on me) for I lost by this means my workroom and found it very difficult to keep the necessary order among the MSS. * * * * * _April 20th._—Moved from Windsor to a small house at Chalvy, rented from Mr. House, the wood-cutter. _June 9th._—My brother went to Bath; by the 25th he was returned. _July 1st._—Alexander came from Bath. _July 29th._—I went to Slough to take (along with Alex.) care of the house whilst my brother, with his family, were from home. * * * * * * * * * * _February 20th._—The first time Mrs. Beckedorff’s[21] name being mentioned in my memorandums as having dined with her, and the whole party leaving the dining-room on the Princesses Augusta, Amelia, and the Duke of Cambridge coming in to see me. _March 2nd._—I went with Mrs. H. and Miss Baldwin to town on a visit to Dr. and Miss Wilson, and went with a party to F. Griesbach’s concert at the Opera House. The 4th we returned. _April 7th._—I shut my house at Chalvy, and went with my maid to Slough, the latter to supply the place of the servants Mrs. H. took with her to town. _May 6th._—My brother went to take a paper to the R. S., and remained there till the 15th. _May 26th._—I returned home to Chalvy very ill with a bad leg, having waited too long before I called in assistance. _June 27th._—The carriage was sent to take me to Slough. Hitherto work had been daily sent me. _July 13th._—My brother, Mrs. H., my nephew John, and Miss Baldwin left Slough to go to Paris. _August 25th._—All returned with my nephew dangerously ill. Going daily for some hours to work at the Observatory, and to receive visitors and letters, had not hastened my recovery, for it required no less than seven months before I could be without the attendance of Dr. Pope. _March 25th._—I moved from Chalvy to Upton. _April 3rd._—Spent the day at Slough. Dr. and Miss Wilson, Miss Whites, and Professor Johnes, from Cambridge, were there. _April 12th._—Had an account of my sister Griesbach’s death. She died March 30th. _May 1st._—From the 1st till the 18th I worked with my brother at Slough, when he went to town, and I returned to Upton; but went daily to the library to work till the 26th, when my brother, with his family, came home from town. _June 13th._—Alexander arrived from Bath. _June 25th._—Spent a melancholy day at the Queen’s Lodge on account of the French having taken Hanover. _September 18th._—My brother Alex. returned to Bath. _October 18th._—I changed my rooms for the accommodation of Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter, who had taken the house and gardens at Upton, excepting two rooms for my habitation.
