I dined on a sheep’s lights boiled and minced and a few rashers of pork boiled. Sent Messrs Jordan and Davis in Shepton Mallet enclosed in a letter by the post one bill on Mr Will Margesson, dated tomorrow, 30 days’ date, No. 544, value 9.2.0, which bill when paid is in full on my account. This was for a piece of cloth charged to me, but my brother had it; so he is now indebted to me the sum of 9.2.0.
In the evening extreme busy a-casting up the measurements of the church as given me by a person employed to measure the same on behalf of the parish. Also wrote my London letters. At home all day and but very little to do. A very severe time. Rec’d of Thomas Diplock 12 guineas in order to deliver to the carrier for him to pay to Mr Matthew Blake, his landlord in London.
