Thursday, January 6 1763

I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Rec’d today as under:

Of Mr Jeremiah French per self16.0.0
Thomas Davy per self0.4.0
John Cayley per self1.6.0
Widow Page per son Richard2.16.0
John Vine per his man4.8.0
Will Wenham per self0.16.0
Richard Hope per self1.12.0

all of which is in full for half a year’s land tax due at St Michael last. Rec’d of Thomas Davy 4/6 in full for the same sum assessed on him by a poor rate made the 9th day of August last.

Paid William Jenner the constable for this half hundred in cash 6.8.3 in full for the same sum assessed on this parish as their quota for the county stock.

At home all day and really very little to do. Sam Jenner lodged at my house… Oh, what a melancholy and dull time it is for trade! Oh, my distracted and anxious mind! Trouble I have, and that a great deal, though not imaginary, but real.
