March 29th 1899

Aunt Mary (née? Fakes born 1840) came and stayed in a few days when Aunt (Elizabeth Kerridge 1845-1926) and Ag. were in London. She sent kind love to her dear boy. Her son Amos died after a day or two illness. He was at work one Wednesday and buried the next. It is a great grief to Aunt as she was the one that was kind to her. The poor wife has six children to bring up. Mrs. Laddie Roper died suddenly last week- only just got to the top of the stairs, said she could not see and was gone. Another warning for us to be ready to be ready to meet our god. I daresay Wilfred (Nunn) has told you Hubbard has gone to Cambridge and that they have begun the houses near John Nunn. Father has got 3 pigs to see after he got Mr. Sharman to dig some of the land. I think I shall go to Cambridge with Aunt next month for a week or so.
