Thursday, January 4 1759

About 1:20 my wife went up to Thomas Fuller’s, where she dined… About 7:30 I walked up to Thomas Fuller’s, where I supped on 2 roasted rabbits, a cold giblet pie, some cold goose, a neck of veal roasted and tarts, in company with Mr and Mrs Porter, Mr William and John Piper, Mr Sam Gibbs and his wife, Mr and Mrs French, Mr Calverley, Mrs Vine and Joseph Fuller. We played at brag in the evening; my wife and I won 2/2½ and gave Mr Fuller’s servant 6d apiece. We came home in very good order about 12:45, but sure a very dark night.

This day John Streeter the post brought up the 12d I gave him the 28th ult. and told me it was [not] enough, which I gladly received and then gave him just nothing.
