Busy in School-----To day Dined with us Mrs
Turburville, & her Daughter Miss Letty Miss Jen-
-ny Corbin, & Mr Blain. We dined at three.
The manner here is different from our way
of living in Cohansie----In the morning so
soon as it is light a Boy knocks at my Door to
make a fire; after the Fire is kindled, I rise
which now in the winter is commonly by
Seven, or a little after, By the time I am
drest the Children commonly enter the
School-Room, which is under the Room I sleep
in; I hear them round one lesson, when
the Bell rings for eight o-Clock (for Mr Carter
has a large good Bell of upwards of 60 Lb.
