[61] May 19, Monday, Bury

Breakfast with Bro. Witworth and had a walk with 2 young men of the family over Bradshaw Hill. Returned from our tour up the hills. I was invited to dinner with Sister Duckworth. According to request, I went. They had some rather peculiar news to tell me. Sis. Mary Ann Worrell was infested with her mother's spirit. She was sent for out of the mill but could not come. ??? with Bro. Entwistle.

At evening I was again sent for, but determined to have nothing to do with the concern. I took with me Bro. Entwistle, but the subject came no further on the carpet then that she was troubled with spirits from the eternal world. It was stopped at that.

Bro. Entwistle, me and Bro. Schofield of Radcliffe had a walk through the town. Returned, supper with Bro. Entwistle. Slept with Witworths.
