My brother and Mr Will Bennett came home with me and dined with me on a cold beef pie, and some apple-pie… After staying about an hour, we all three walked over to Framfield and drank tea at my mother’s; I stayed there till near 6 o’clock. Then my brother came and brought me going on my way home as far as Durrants’, but would not walk in with me by reason he could not tarry all night… My wife in my absence paid Mr Piper and Mr French 7/6 in full for window tax.
