Mrs Ben White was brought to bed of a boy, who encreases my nephews, & nieces to the number of 52.  Bror Thos Wh. tulips from South Lambeth make a gaudy appearance.  The bloom of cherries, pears, & apples is great; of plums, bullace, sloes, little.  Currans promise for much fruit, gooseberries for little.  Peaches & nectarines are set: cherries begin to eat.
