Sunday 1^st. Dec^r. 1811.
Went to Church and had an excellent Sermon from the Rev^d. M^r. Knopwood at the Government House. ---I issued General Orders this day respecting the dividing of Hobart Town into one Principal Square and Seven Streets, to which I have given names, and have framed a regular Plan of the Town which is to be in future rigidly adhered to in carrying on and constructing the Buildings in it.---

At 5 p.m. I walked out with M^rs. M. to see Lieu^t. Campbell's and M^r. Fosbrook's Farms in the vicinity of Hobart Town, ---and returned home to Dinner at ^1/2 past 6 p.m.; our usual Party including M^r. Knopwood, dining with us.

At 7 p.m. the Lady Nelson sailed for Port Dalrymple with a fair wind, in Company with the Brig Favorite Cap^t. Fisk, bound for Port Jackson.---
