9 October 1797


At last our furniture is beginning to arrive, although it seems the smallest pieces are being delivered first. . .but not to worry. . .My little writing desk was one of those, shipped without damaged and quite pretty in its simplicity. It is of the nicest piece of tiger maple I have seen.  . .I sit here in the quiet of the morning, making out my menus and listing the tasks for the day. . .We may be new to the village but I am quite at home at my little desk. . .

The pot chicken in the list of receipts is very good. We enjoy it in the winter.
