My brother came over in the forenoon, but did not stay. Paid 6d for 10 plaice bought today. John Babcock a-gathering of apples for me all the forenoon and dined with us on a piece of beef boiled, some boiled plaice, turnips and potatoes. I gave him 6d for his work… Mr Mason of Eastbourne drank tea at our house. At home all day. And thank God pretty busy.
