A very severe frost in the night. Paid Mr Ben Shelley in cash 5.6.10 in full for the same sum he paid in London for me this week… I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. At home all day, but very little to do. The wind vastly high and prodigious cold, it being so excessive piercing that people could hardly bear it, and the frost very sharp. Paid a needle-maker from Chichester 9/3 in full for the following needles bought of him today:
| 12½ hundred Travilors [travellers’?] needles | 0.3.9 |
| 1 m best do. | 0.4.0 |
| 100 chapel do. | 0.1.0 |
| ¼ hundred looping | 0.06 |
