January
Went to the Infirmary to enquire about poor
Mary Ann Saunders. On my return home
I found all the younger Inmates making
a great noise. Miss Galbraith said that
she had not been able to manage them.
while I was out. I made them all come
in and give an account of themselves
so they were quiet, but about midnight Three
of them went down stairs intending to
escape, had they not been disturbed by
me.

The troublesome ones were not at prayers
this morning, but finding fault with every
thing and declaring in an under tone
that they would not work. evidently Sorry
that they had not effected their escape.
