Sent Mr George Otway…£20. I dined on a piece of beef boiled, an apple pudding and some greens. Mrs Piper, Mr Neatby and Master and Miles Porter drank tea with me. At home all day and but very little to do.
John Watford a-gardening for me in the afternoon. Sam Jenner sat a while with me in the evening. Business very dull indeed any money scarce.
