2nd November 1786

Fog. The Reverend Ezra Elfgrope died of a seething of the bowels. Am. Went to my mine with my land agent Grind, The remains of the explosion have now been cleared up. The damage was caused by my previous agent Sweetley investigating  fire damp with a lighted candle. The prompt action of stopping the wages of the survivors has paid for improving the site and now labour can begin again. The widows of the miners killed give me an unusual sign as I pass. The Courier reports that the body of the popinjay and pederast Sir James Savile has been exhumed and burned on a beach at Scarbourgh. It also reports that the King has been talking to trees in Windsor Great Park again .
