William Borrow

19/01/1791

Dear Mrs Whelas, you've been badly in bed for days

William Borrow

19/01/1791

Feeling better now?

Jane Whelas

19/01/1791

Yes Master, I think I can go to work tomorrow, but before that...

Jane Whelas

19/01/1791

may I have some tea or ale to sup on? (; ; cry)

William Borrow

19/01/1791

I am afraid I cannot.

Jane Whelas

19/01/1791

You see...... We work hard every day......

Jane Whelas

19/01/1791

Some tea will be just fine......

William Borrow

19/01/1791

You know, it is not allowed currently, Jane, I do hope I can.

Jane Whelas

23/01/1791

Can't you see I am DYING!!!(; ;) Just give me something!!!

William Borrow

23/01/1791

You are not Mrs Whelas, don't say like that, now why not have some rest?

Jane Whelas

30/01/1791

My dearest Master, I am extremely unwell these days......

William Borrow

30/01/1791

I can see that... You are in a poor weak way Mrs Whelas.

Jane Whelas

30/01/1791

Can I have some ale? Please, a gill of ale will make me better...

William Borrow

30/01/1791

(*sigh) Okay, as long as you can eat and drink normally...

William Borrow

30/01/1791

Mrs. Whelas, you are not gonna die. I will get you some tomorrow.

Jane Whelas

30/01/1791

Oh my Master, thank you for the kindness! May God bless you!

Jane Whelas

03/02/1791

I am feeling much better after drinking the ale you provided.

William Borrow

03/02/1791

Well I am glad to hear that Mrs. Whelas.

Jane Whelas

03/02/1791

You see, it did work on me, so if I can have some more......

William Borrow

03/02/1791

Don't try to get an ich and want a foot Mrs. Whelas.

William Borrow

03/02/1791

Gentlemen, our inmates are getting really greedy now.

Gentlemen Committee

03/02/1791

Borrow, you know they are not... that easy to deal with

William Borrow

03/02/1791

Exactly. Gentlemen I have to say it is a hard work.

Gentlemen Committee

03/02/1791

Easy, gentleman, we trust you to set things up.

William Borrow

03/02/1791

My pleasure Gentlemen.

Eliz Clemshay

30/09/1791

DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME IN THIS WAY MASTER!!!!!

William Borrow

30/09/1791

Calm down Mrs. Clemshay!

Eliz Clemshay

30/09/1791

S*** YOU Borrow!!! I won't spin a hank neither for you nor them!!!

William Borrow

30/09/1791

Watch your Language Mrs. Clemshay.

William Borrow

30/09/1791

If you don't work, then no food for you, think about it.

William Borrow

30/09/1791

I know you do not care for work at all now

William Borrow

30/09/1791

I promise, I will take you to Harrogate rase if you can get your work done.

Eliz Clemshay

30/09/1791

You promise?

William Borrow

30/09/1791

Swear to God, you have my word.

Eliz Clemshay

30/09/1791

May I have a petticoat?

William Borrow

30/09/1791

If you spin hard then I will talk to Mr. Couper about it.

Eliz Clemshay

30/09/1791

Deal.

Eliz Clemshay

06/10/1791

Can I have the petticoat today?

William Borrow

06/10/1791

If you have another hank a day to be spun.

Eliz Clemshay

06/10/1791

I am sick and lame these months.

Eliz Clemshay

06/10/1791

My daugher and I have already done 4 hanks, it is too much for us.

William Borrow

06/10/1791

Then I'm afraid your petticoat will be forfeited.

Eliz Clemshay

06/10/1791

Be nicer Master, we are not able to do it.

William Borrow

06/10/1791

Fine, I will tell Mr. Couper later.

Eliz Clemshay

06/10/1791

That's kind of you. May God bless you.

William Borrow

06/10/1791

But make sure you will work hard Mrs. Clemshay.

William Borrow

06/10/1791

Don't look for reasons to be lazy.

William Borrow

06/10/1791

Mr. Couper, can you make Mrs. Clemshay a petticoat these days?

Mr. Couper

06/10/1791

My pleasure my Master.

Eliz Clemshay

29/10/1791

Welcome to join us, Mrs. Atkinson.

Susana Atkinson

William Borrow

29/10/1791

Yes? Anything can help?

Susana Atkinson

29/10/1791

I heard you can offer some ale here, can you maybe share me a gill?

William Borrow

29/10/1791

Well, my dear Susana, I have to say ale is not a easy thing to gain here.

William Borrow

29/10/1791

You are fresh here so this time I can give you some

William Borrow

29/10/1791

but not an example, okay?

Susana Atkinson

29/10/1791

Oh Lord! You are a really kind person! May God bless you!

William Borrow

31/10/1791

Gentlemen, our new inmate Mrs. Atkinson is such a terrible woman!

Gentlemen Committee

William Borrow

She always make places messy after she came.

Gentlemen Committee

31/10/1791

Haha, well we know you can always handle these Mr. Borrow.

William Borrow

31/10/1791

William Borrow

31/10/1791

William Borrow

02/11/1791

Dear Susana, could you please focus on your work?

Susana Atkinson

02/11/1791

Don't push me Mr. Borrow!

Susana Atkinson

02/11/1791

If you push me then I am not going to stay here anymore.

William Borrow

02/11/1791

My Old Susana, just look around and see how others do...

Susana Atkinson

02/11/1791

I am doing my job very seriously Mr. Borrow!

Susana Atkinson

02/11/1791

Learn to be respect, young man!

Susana Atkinson

05/11/1791

I can't stand the life here, I'm asking to leave.

William Borrow

05/11/1791

Susana Atkinson

10/11/1791

Nutty you dirty husey w****!

Nutty

10/11/1791

Oh my old poor lady, wanna compete with me to see who is dirtier?

Nutty

Nutty

10/11/1791

Susana Atkinson

10/11/1791

How dare you can say that! Don't you dare to say it again!

Susana Atkinson

10/11/1791

I swear to God I will wring your neck!

Nutty

10/11/1791

Oh! I am SOOOOOOOOO SCARED!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHA

Nutty

10/11/1791

Susana Atkinson

10/11/1791

You'd better don't let me see you!

William Borrow

10/11/1791

Gentlemen I am sorry to say that two inmates had a fight today.

Gentlemen Committee

10/11/1791

Oh we are sorry to hear that, how bad it was? Who?

William Borrow

10/11/1791

Well it was our Old Susana and Nutty, unfortunately.

Gentlemen Committee

10/11/1791

Nightmare! Jesus! Don't allow these things happen again Mr. Borrow.

William Borrow

10/11/1791

My fault Gentlemen, I promise there will be no more fights.

Gentlemen Committee

10/11/1791

Then we are looking forward to hearing your good news.

William Borrow

10/11/1791

It is an honor to be placed in high hopes by all of you Gentlemen.

Gentlemen Committee

Great, Master.

Bad Apple(Anonymous)

14/11/1791

I can't understand why Master let Susana be a part of us...

Bad Cotton(Anonymous)

14/11/1791

Me too, she made everything wrong.

Bad Milk(Anonymous)

14/11/1791

I hope this old stupid woman can die soon, can't stand her.

Bad Cotton(Anonymous)

14/11/1791

Language Milk. Even it is anonymous.

Bad Milk(Anonymous)

14/11/1791

So what? Isn't it what all of you wish every single day?

Bad Apple(Anonymous)

14/11/1791

(*sigh) Maybe she will leave the workhouse and find herself a new place.

William Borrow

23/11/1791

Look at you! Just look! How did you make yourself this pathetic?

Susana Atkinson

23/11/1791

Help me my greatest Master! Help me Mr. Borrow!

Susana Atkinson

23/11/1791

My leg! My leg! I didn't mean this!

William Borrow

23/11/1791

(*sigh) Why you always make things worse Mrs. Atkinson?

Susana Atkinson

23/11/1791

I am so sorry! Am I going to die soon? Am I dying? My Lord!

William Borrow

23/11/1791

Easy! Easy my dear Susana, listen, you will be fine.

William Borrow

23/11/1791

I will do everything I can to help you, relax.

Susana Atkinson

23/11/1791

I don't want to die! Please! Please!

Susana Atkinson

24/11/1791

It was pain and pain! Mr. Borrow, tell me you can spare me some ale.

Susana Atkinson

24/11/1791

I can feel! My soul and my body! I really need it!

William Borrow

24/11/1791

I am getting you some, hold on a second.

William Borrow

24/11/1791

Gentlemen, our Old Susana fell from stairs.

Gentlemen Committee

24/11/1791

Hell Lord! How serious it was?

William Borrow

24/11/1791

Not good, I got her some ale, hope she can feel better.

Gentlemen Committee

24/11/1791

Get her a doctor if it is getting worse.

William Borrow

24/11/1791

Already kept in my mind Gentlemen.

William Borrow

30/11/1791

You don't look well and eat less than before my dear

William Borrow

30/11/1791

Everything fine?

Jane Whelas

30/11/1791

Thanks for caring me my great Master.

William Borrow

30/11/1791

If you are not in good health then get yourself some rest.

William Borrow

30/11/1791

I will offer you some gin every day or other things you need.

Jane Whelas

30/11/1791

That's kind of you my Master.

William Borrow

30/11/1791

Gentlemen, I think Mrs. Whelas has serious health problems.

William Borrow

30/11/1791

You should have a look. She looks like a dying person.

Gentlemen Committee

30/11/1791

We are sorry to hear about this, but if she's dying...

Gentlemen Committee

30/11/1791

We can't stop Death taking her away from us.

Gentlemen Committee

30/11/1791

If she's getting worse, then get her a doctor.

William Borrow

30/11/1791

I understood Gentlemen.

Mary Wright

30/12/1791

What?

William Borrow

30/12/1791

I heard something about you recently.

William Borrow

30/12/1791

Some said you behaved very ill with Old Garman.

William Borrow

30/12/1791

Also with Ann.

Mary Wright

30/12/1791

That's because they called me THIEF!

William Borrow

30/12/1791

What happened? Well you are well enough for that...

Mary Wright

30/12/1791

You know what? I have none of your scoops!

Mary Wright

30/12/1791

I neither care for them nor you or your damn Overseers!

William Borrow

30/12/1791

I think you must go the house of Correcton directly.

Mr. Couper

30/12/1791

Something happened to Mary?

William Borrow

30/12/1791

I asked her go to the Correcton house. Anything?

Mr. Couper

30/12/1791

No, but remember lock the door and never let her get in again.

Mary Wright

31/12/1791

Mr. Couper? I have to say that I don't think our Master and his wife

Mary Wright

31/12/1791

are doing their job well!!!!!!!!!

Mary Wright

31/12/1791

Do you know how much bread was stolen from the workhouse these days?

Mary Wright

31/12/1791

Can't believe it!!! Now they all think I am that thief?!

William Borrow

31/12/1791

It was just a false report my dear, I'm sorry.

William Borrow

31/12/1791

You've spoken to many people about this.

William Borrow

31/12/1791

You've got your breakfast, now go to work.

Mary Wright

31/12/1791

I will neither work for you nor your stupid Overseers!

William Borrow

31/12/1791

Then you can't enjoy your food anymore my dear Mary.

William Borrow

05/01/1792

I am glad you feel better now, Mrs. Atkinson.

William Borrow

05/01/1792

Looks like you are better at your work today.

Susana Atkinson

05/01/1792

Thank you my great Master.

William Borrow

18/01/1792

Gentlemen, I have a tragic news to share.

William Borrow

18/01/1792

Our Old Susana finally left us today.

Gentlemen Committee

18/01/1792

We are sorry to hear this news. Rest in peace Mrs. Atkinson.

William Borrow
