At home all day and, thank God, very, busy. My father Slater called and breakfasted with us on his road from Lewes to Hartfield. I received of him 0.14.9½ in full. He made my wife a present of 6/-… Gave Charles Jeffries, Beckett’s carter, 12d for his box money.
Thomas Fuller and Thomas Davy at our house in the evening. They stayed and drank a bottle of perry with me. My wife paid Mrs Porter a visit this evening. Paid Dame Dallaway 18d for making a gown for my wife. In the day read part of The Whole Duty of a Woman, which in my opinion is a very good thing.
