In the morning my servant went to see her friends and my old servant Mary Martin came to see me, and she and Bett Mepham drank tea with me; that is, breakfasted with me.
Sam Jenner at work for me today; he and my late servant dined with me on a piece of neck of lamb and a piece of beef boiled, cabbage and turnips. My old servant and Dame Seaman and Dame Hedger, who had bought many things in the shop, drank tea with me. My old servant went home in the evening.
My brother came over in the evening… Thomas Durrant supped and lodged with me all night… At home all day and very busy, but a very melancholy time for money. In the forenoon walked down to Halland with Mr Coates’s bill.
