The money delivered was as under:

I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Paid Joseph Fuller Jr 11d for a loin of mutton bought of him today weighing 4½ lbs.
In the evening my old friend and very intimate acquaintance George Richardson and my brother Richard came to see me. They stayed and spent the evening and supped with me on some mutton chops and stayed all night. Rec’d back by Sam Jenner from Mr Thomas Gerry, the Deputy General Receiver, a receipt for the money sent today. At home all day. Very little to do and very cold.
