We dined on a cold rabbit pie, as did Thomas Cornwell, whom I had sent to Lewes today for a small parcel which Mr Whitfield was to have brought me the 11th instant, and for which, and seeking after Mr Whitfield last night, I gave him 18d. I received my horse again safe today, but not all the accoutrements. At home all day and I think as cold a day as I ever knew. In the evening posted part of my day book and read one of Tillotson’s sermons. Thomas Davy sat with us some time in the evening, to whom I read part of Swift’s Tale of a Tub. Mrs Roase sent my wife a present by the post of a few whiting.
