'It is now about 2am. Yesterday evening when I got up I discovered a parcel waiting for me. I opened it in semi darkness and was not able to make out all the contents, but there is an awful lot of good things ... I have read one of the Advertisers, and noticed the death of Mr Hodnett's son. What part was he in? Probably there have been a few deaths of people round about that I do not know of, but the Advertisers have given me a lot of news.'
