Terrible bad with the headache. In the morning John Watford a-mowing my court and orchard; he breakfasted with us. In the forenoon rode over to Framfield. I dined at my mother’s on a hot veal pie… Thomas Cornwell made my wife a present of 2 fine carp, for which she gave him 12d. Mr Blackwell, a paper-maker, called on me today, to whom I gave an order. Very bad all day, though no more than I deserve…
