Excerpt from Extracts From Priscilla Johnston's Journal and Letters
It was delightful having a child born at Earlham, and much was made of the event and of her - the first child born there since my brother Dan, in 1791.
When she was about six months old we settled in a house lent us in Southampton Row, Russell Square. Here Priscilla soon became the most lively, active baby I ever saw. She had a most providential escape from scarlet fever. I, in my inexperience, went to see a child who had it, and caught the fever. I had sent Priscilla to spend the day at St. Mildred's Court with her Aunt Fry. That day I sickened, and it proved a severe illness. When recovered I thought I might have her home she came. When the doctors happily called and ordered her away again. That evening, when her father returned the fever was upon him, and he became at once dangerously ill. After a time my beloved husband was restored, and at last we were allowed to rejoin our child, whose animation and merriment were remarkable.
