Excerpt from Small Talk at Wreyland

Some years afterwards my father took me to call upon an Old Mr Woodin and from him I had an account of the Fire of Lon don, as he heard it from a great-aunt of his; and she heard it from an Old lady, who was about ten years old at the time of the fire. But it was only a child's account, dwelling on such things as the quantities of raisins that she ate, while they were being salved.

My father kept a diary from 1833 to 1878. When he was abroad or at any place of interest, he kept a diary upon a larger scale, and sent it round to aunts and other relatives, instead of writing to them separately; and I have gone through these diaries, and made some extracts from them. He kept all letters that he thought worth keeping, and sorted them according to writer, date or subject; and I have made extracts from the letters that his father wrote to him from here. The rest of my people seem to have destroyed their letters: at any rate, there are not many letters Of theirs among my papers here.

My mother's parents died before I was born; but I remember my father's parents very well indeed. I used to come down here to stay with them; and I see that my first visit was in 1861. My grandmother lived from 1781 till 1866, and my grandfather from 1789 till 1870. As a boy, he used to stay here with his mother's parents; and he has told me of many things he did here then, such as helping his grandfather to plant the great walnut-tree, when he was seven years Old - which is now 120 years ago.
