My brother Moses came over in the morning and breakfasted with us, but did not stay. We dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with a piece of a neck of mutton boiled. At home all the fore part of the day. In the evening went up to the audit and received of Mr Vine and Mr Patrick (on account of the executors of the Rt Hon Henry Pelham Esq) in cash 2.8.0; viz.,
| To a bill of nails | 0.16.6 |
| To the audit bill | 1.11.6 |
Gave Mr Vine’s servant 12d and came home about 8:30. Paid today 15d for 64 herring. In the forenoon very busy. My wife very ill. In the morning wrote a list of inhabitants of this parish for John Watford to carry in to the court today for the steward to choose a headborough out of.
