In the forenoon my brother Richard and Mr John and Joseph Hartley came to see me and they together with Mr Tipper dined with me on a beef pudding and cabbage boiled and two chickens roasted. They stayed and drank tea with me and then all went home.
Paid Mr Joseph Hartley in cash and goods 1.1.0 in full for a wig received of him today. In the evening my brother Moses came over to acquaint me that there was a sale at Newick tomorrow of Mr James Allen’s effects, lately foiled is trade. He stayed and smoked a pipe or 2 with me. After he went away, I read 1 of Tillotson’s sermons to Mr Tipper and Thomas Durrant.
