Rec’d of Mr Porter in cash 3.15.0 in full for land and window taxes due at Lady Day last. Rec’d of Mrs Atkins 2.12.9 in full for land and window taxes due at Lady Day last. Rec’d of Mrs Virgoe 4/- in full for ditto due as above… Dame Cornwell drank tea with me. In the evening wrote my London letters. But little to do all day; and in a great deal of grief for my wife’s welfare. Oh, could I be with her always, how would it some measure alleviate my trouble. Poor creature, what she has undergone is past description, and yet I am sure she has always borne it without once repining at the divine will.
