In the forenoon my father and mother Slater came to see us and dined with us… Rec’d of John Cayley 2.6.9 in full for land and window taxes due at Lady Day last. Rec’d of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle (from Mr Will Michell by the payment of Thomas Fuller) 24.15.0 in full for land and window taxes due at Lady Day last.

In the evening my brother came over and supped with us, and I received of him in cash 6.1.0 in full for a parcel of serges. At home all day; my wife thank God something better. Mr George Beard called on me… Pretty busy all day. My father and mother Slater stayed all night.
