Sunday, December 11 1757

Myself, two boys and servant at church in the morning, my wife not being there on account her being lame… We dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a raisin suet pudding and turnips. Myself, two boys and servant at church in the afternoon… After churchtime Mr Stone paid a visit to my wife and assured us the ulcer on her leg was a scurvy. In the evening Thomas Davy at our house, to whom I read part of Young’s Night Thoughts. Finished reading of Sherlock on judgment today, which I think as good a book as I ever read.
