The author had often remarked the very grateful manner in which the
youth acknowledged any kindness shown towards him. He spoke with the
utmost affection of his dear friends, Captain Ommanney, Captain
Austin, R.N., the Rev. the Warden of St. Augustine's College, and Mrs.
Bailey. Mrs. Bailey, he said, taught him constantly his readings in
the New Testament, heard him his hymns, and corrected his
writing-exercises. The Rev. A. P. Moor, Sub-Warden of the College, was
also very kind to him, and gained his regard.
Of the moderate means placed at his disposal he was always properly
careful, expending very little upon himself. He had a few pounds laid
up in the Savings' Bank at Canterbury. This amount, together with his
humble store of goods and chattels, consisting chiefly of the prints
which had adorned his room, he left, by a kind of will, to his
untiring and constant friend, Captain Ommanney, in token of gratitude
and regard.
