Myself and both servants at church in the morning… We had a brief read for rebuilding the church of Charlton in the Parish of Market Bosworth in the County of Leicester, the expense of which amounted to the sum of £1102 and upwards, to which collection I gave 1d. I dined on a calf’s heart pudding and some turnip greens. Myself and both servants at church in the afternoon… we bad a thanksgiving prayer read today for the success attending his Majesty’s arms in the reduction of that important island Martinique, which has lately surrendered unto his Majesty’s general etc. employed in the expedition against that island.
After dinner Sam Jenner and Thomas Davy drank tea with me, and after tea we took a walk. Came back home about 7:20; he sat with me a while in the evening and I read him one of Sterne’s sermons. Samuel Jenner lodged at my house all night. A very warm pleasant day according to the season of the year.
