Diary 27.3.1883

Tuesday 27

Sick tried to get up but had to go back to bed. John Edwin (Emily’s husband) is worse than me, I am very thankful to say Emmeline (Emily & John Edwin’s daughter, my Great-grandmother was 1 year, 7 months old at the time) is alright but we cannot attend to her as we ought.
Mrs Nicholson and Mrs Hebdon have been very good to us also some people called Deacon from Shipley, they gave us some jam which was very nice. We’ve now got 2,000 miles on our way.
