Scope and content
A great deal of rain fell about the beginning of the month. ‘On Sunday 3rd I dined with Mr. Tho. Bell, and the day following the common sewer being stopt up, the water forced its way under the pavement of the street into the kitchens of the houses of the upper end of Queen Street, most of them having cellar kitchens. ... Mr J. Bell put on a pair of old boots, which were not very good, and went amongst the water which was in their kitchen in consequence of which he took cold, and on Sunday following, an inflammation of the lungs took place: he died on the Tuesday.’
Joseph had two teeth removed but three decaying ones remained. He has finished land surveying and begun Euclid and Algebra.States that he has much to tell of his dancing master on returning home.
Mr. Tho. Irvin is to be ordained at Bishopthorpe on 21 June. ‘Kaleidoscopes are fashionable at Scarbro’, and I think the one which you were so good as to send me, is the best I have seen except one.’ Notes that he has not heard from Mr. Hixon since he (Joseph) last wrote in 1817.
