Peter Hawker in Chatham - 7 October, 1836, in the morning

from Journal entry, 7 October 1836, page 111:

Went down to Chatham and found my son Peter, thank God, in excellent health. […] I dined with him and slept at a kind of canteen hotel, where the noise was awful, all the windows rattling with the wind and rain; a church clock so close that it vibrated my very bed, and at daylight the bugle boys of ‘the Rifles’ came to learn their lesson under my window.
