Can anyone make this out?

860

I can see Sunday and 1824. If the date is 8th then that would be either February or August for that year, but in any case, I can't make out the other two words.

For context, it's written at the bottom of a diary entry for a young married woman where she has recorded a prayer attributed to "W Borrows" who I think was the man mentioned below as the family's first child was baptised at Holy Trinity Clapham in 1825:

St. PAUL'S CHAPEL.

This is a Chapel of ease to the Church, and was
erected in 1815 on the site of the old Church, between
the Wandsworth Road and Lark-Hall Lane. It is
uniformly and neatly built, and cost about £85000
[Archiect, Mr. C. Edmond's). It contains sittings for
J 25 persons. The Rev. W. Borrows, A.M. is the
present Minister.

This is from a book about Clapham 1820s to 1840s and the Wm Borrows, clergyman, apppears in Lark Hall Lane in 1841 aged 55.

Oh dear, I see "sending money - paid" which is obviously not correct but I can't see anything else now!

Hopefully someone more sensible than me will come along soon.

I agree with Sending money paid.

I suppose I read 'Sunday' as I imagined her coming home from church and quoting his words in her diary.

I should add that that (Sending money paid) is what I thought it said before I saw OC's post.

Ok, so what might that be about? Pity she doesn't give an amount!
