Monday, April 4 1763

…I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of some broiled sausages. Paid Mr Richard Wrothwell in cash 2.14.0 in full for Messrs Merricks and his bill on the parish for flax and tow this year. Paid Mr George Peckham in cash 14/9½ in full for milling 61 yds linsey on account of the parish. Paid Mr Thomas Overing in [cash?] 2.2.0 in part of his bill on the parish account.

Thomas Durrant drank tea with me. At home all day and thank God very busy. In the evening wrote my London letters and posted the parish accounts.
