Ash Wednesday, Feb 4 1761

Mary Heath a-washing for us all day and dined with us… Paid Thomas Reeve by his daughter Elizabeth by goods 7/- in full for a sack of oats received last week. In the evening my father Slater came to see us and stayed with us all night. Mary Heath lodged with us all night. Molly French sat up with my wife, who, poor creature, is so ill that it is past thought to describe. Mr Vine sent my wife a present of two eels and a carp. I gave his son 6d that brought them.
