…My brother came over in the forenoon and he and Sam Jenner, who was a-gardening for me part of the day, dined with me on a piece of veal boiled and a piece of bacon and green salad.
My brother being kind enough to stand the shop for me in the afternoon, I took a ride to a cricket match about 4 miles distant, there being a match played between the parishes of Uckfield and Isfield [vs] the Borough of Lewes and ten miles around. It was decided in favor of the former, having only 14 runs to get in the last innings. I came home about 9:20, very sober. Spent upon myself, horse and turnpike 10d.
My brother stayed and supped with me and then went home. Very tired and somewhat ill in the evening with a violent pang in the head. My brother very busy today in my absence.
