Summary:
Silk for purses to be had at Gardons, St James's Street, London. Arrived back in Hafod from London late on evening of New Year's Day, which was like being "awakened from a frightful dream". An incident in London has made him "look on mankind with no friendly eye". Dr [James] Anderson has been "most amazingly active here", including starting work on a pensile garden for his daughter [Mariamne Johnes], and he is satisfied with his own gardens.
Everything quiet and "perfectly tranquil" in this part of the country; bread is 6lb wheat, 6lb rye, and 9lb potatoes, "which is equally good, to my taste, as yours at Hammersmith".
