| Description | Document. "London Journies." 1819-1820.
The document records expenses of two journeys to and from London, one of which is undated except for London-Thornhill December 14th, and one where both the outward and return journeys are dated in September 1820. The earlier journey is presumably therefore in 1819 as the document is docketed 1819-1820. In both cases the outward journey expenses are listed on one side of the sheet and the return expenses and other information on the other side. On the transcript which follows the outward and return journeys have been listed consecutively rather than in the order in which they appear on the sheet.
