Reading edition
On January 10th of the next year there is the following entry in Sir R. Hill’s Journal:—
“This being the tenth anniversary of the adoption of Penny Postage, we had a family party to celebrate the event. My poor sister, however, was too much affected by the consideration that it would be the last meeting of the kind before her departure with her family for South Australia; and I fear the same consideration affected the spirits of all.”—Ed.
