Sent Messrs Barlow and Wigginton enclosed in a letter by Shelley (delivered to a person whom Shelley sent from Uckfield for the letters) 1 bill on Mr Will Margesson… to my brother Moses… (which he endorsed himself yesterday) value 7.8.6… which bill is on his account to Messrs Barlow and Wigginton and is in part of the £20 I borrowed of him the 6th instant… In the afternoon my cousin Thomas Ovendean called on me and stayed some little time at our house. At home all day and but very little to do. My wife continues very ill. Ah, how melancholy is my present situation; but let me not repine at the dispensations of providence, but let me submit with cheerfulness to the divine will.
