Was invited to his cousin's birthday party and, though he refused to go due to the ungodly nature of the celebrations, was coerced into going by his sister. Rails against the irreligious nature of the event and humankind in general. Has attended every sermon that has been preached at the 'Lock' since he has been in town. Is grateful to Mr Jones who has made his house 'quite an asylum' for RH and his friends and has also accomodated RH's friends when they have come to visit. Also mentions Mr and Mrs Powys and Mr Romaine for their kindness. Has received news of the many conversions to Christianity that have occurred in Hawkstone.
