We dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner, with the addition of some green peas. My wife extremely ill with a swelled face, and a most excessive pain in it. At home all day (in the evening wrote my London letters), except just walking down to Whyly to see Mr French’s wool and not staying 5 minutes.
