[Diary entry: 4 August 1797]

4. Wind at So. Et. & Easterly—appearances of Rain but none fell. Warm Mer. 85. Mrs. Peake & Miss Evelin dined here.

miss evelin: GW undoubtedly means Fanny Edelen (see entries for 28 Dec. 1771 and 7 Nov. 1785). Mrs. Peake is probably Humphrey Peake’s widow, Mary Stonestreet Peake.
