Miss A. of Ewhurst

Mon 18 to Sat 23 Oct 1779: I set out for Sussex and, after visiting the societies there, returned to London on Saturday the 23rd. I was in hopes, by bringing her with me, to save the life of Miss A. of Ewhurst, far gone in a consumption. But she was too far gone; so that though that journey helped her for awhile, yet she quickly relapsed and, soon after, died in peace.
