…In the afternoon Mr Porter and myself went up to Mrs Piper’s and broke up her late husband’s will, wherein Mr Porter, myself and John Piper are left joint trustees to the same. We sealed up his writings and came home about 6:20. Mrs French drank tea with my wife, who is, poor creature, most extreme ill.
In the evening Sam Jenner brought me Mrs Browne’s books and I put some things in them to rights and kept the books in order to write out some bills for her.
