She sent him many gifts of flower and vegetable seed for the garden he planted at the Parsonage House, Little Petherick in 1857.
[3] Molesworth moved from London to Cobham Lodge, Surrey, in 1823 after her widowed mother inherited the estate from General Felix Buckley.
[1] Each day she recorded data in 19 columns, including the date, hours of sunset and sunrise, several temperature readings, barometer pressure, observations on animals and on plants, and Tagliabue's storm glass reading.
[1][5] This storm glass has been described by Anderson as "a mixture of camphor, potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride in alcohol and water, in which particles apparently crystallized more or less strongly under different weather conditions".
[5] Molesworth's records covering 1825-1850 were published in 1880 as The Cobham Journals: abstracts and summaries of meteorological and phenological observations made by Miss Caroline Molesworth, at Cobham, Surrey, in the years 1825-1850, edited by Eleanor A. Ormerod (the first female fellow of the Meteorological Society), which was reviewed in The Spectator.
