Very busy all day. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner (or rather did not eat any dinner at all). Mrs Carman, buying many things in the shop, and her mantua-maker Dame Hesman, together with Miss Nanny Hicks, who came on purpose to see me, drank tea with me. Miss Hicks stayed the evening, and she, Mr Tipper, myself and Sam Jenner played a few games of whist; I won about 1d.
Afterwards I wrote my London letters. At home all day. After I had written my letters, I read a few of the numbers of The Connoisseur.
