Sam Jenner, being a-cleaving; of logs for me, dined with me on the remains of Tuesday’s dinner. Halland servants drank tea at my house, as did my worthy acquaintance Mr John Breeden of Pevensey and his daughter, who came to my house in the evening on their journey from Epsom to Pevensey, the latter [two] of whom supped and stayed at my house all night.
At home all day and pretty busy. But yet how insupportable is that load which hangs on my mind! who can tell? No, not anyone but they that freer the agonies of a troubled mind.
John Piper made me a present of a carp.
