Myself only at church in the morning… We had a brief read for a loss by fire to Samuel Richards of the parish of Kingswood in the county of Wilts, whose loss amounted in the whole to £1200 and upwards (to which I gave 2d). We dined on a piece of bacon boiled, a heart pudding, turnips and potatoes. No service at our church in the afternoon, Mr Porter preaching at Laughton.
In the evening my father Slater came to see us and stayed all night. In the evening our late servant came again and Betty Mepham went home. James Marchant, Thomas Davy and my father supped with us. Myself a good deal indisposed with a cold. My wife really ill, but I hope not quite so bad as she has been.
