…My brother called on me in his road to the Dicker where he was going to see a cricket match played between the parish of Wadhurst and the parishes of Ringmer, Ripe, Chalvington, Arlington, Herstmonceux, Wartling and Hailsham.
At home all day. In the evening my brother called on me in his return home and informed me the parish of Wadhurst was beat 10 runs. In the evening wrote my London letters. Thomas Durrant lodged at my house. A very melancholy time for trade.
