In the morning walked up to Mr John Vine Jr’s to beg of his wife (he not being at home) to stop 5/11½ of his servant Joseph Fitness for me, which Mrs Vine assured me her husband should secure for me… At home all day except as before mentioned. In the evening read 3 of Tillotson’s sermons. This day there was a thaw of the frost which had continued about 10 days.
