Mr Oxley called on Saturday and I expressed a wish to go out and spend a day at Mr Nortons he was kind enough to say he would send for me on Monday so Henry and I went out in the Passage and I returned by the six oclock Omnibus after spending a very pleasant day with the family they were all going to the speakers ball and Allice Wilkinson with them. I have seen Bobart [?] several times lately he is often in Sydney he is much harried with his lwordly affairs poor man but I hope it will do him [?] good. I am very glad that you are out of the way of Sydney as the clergy are always in hot water some I think too hot. I often wish I didn't hear so much about them. You no doubt have heard of [?] [wife?] Broughton marriage to Mr Crawley they are at [indecipherable]. It was a very private wedding at eight oclock very wet and very cold.
