Summary:
Hopes Pleasance has allowed her "light to shine before men, & women too" [following Smith's knighthood on 28 July 1814]; announcements in newspapers; their cards are done; lists those who attended the ceremony; reactions of friends and servants; he is now obliged to call and leave his card at many places, which otherwise he would not now do. Intends to visit Spring Grove [Sir Joseph Banks' home in Isleworth, Middlesex]; visiting a Mr and Mrs Paterson near Edgware; seeing Lord Essex's Cashiobury, [Hertfordshire], [George Capell-Coningsby, 5th Earl of Essex (1757-1839)]. Account of a fair and celebrations in Hyde Park. Bought a "pretty set of tea china".
