After breakfast Mrs Virgoe and I set out for Lewes where we arrived about 11:10. We looked over her house to give orders for repairs. We gave Mr Rice orders to do such repairs as were absolutely necessary and no more. I dined at the White Horse on a piece of beef boiled, a plain and apple pudding, white cabbage and French beans… I drank tea at Mr Bennett’s in company with my brother Moses and their family. I called on Mr Madgwick, Mr Thomas Scrase and Mr Verral. We came home about 8:10. Paid Mr Sam Newell
