In the morning I rode down to Whyly and on bought Mr Jeremiah French’s wool at 7¾d per pound. I dined on part of a neck of mutton roasted in the oven and green salad. In the afternoon posted part of my day book. A very wet afternoon, it raining almost incessantly and very hard the whole afternoon. At home all day and but very little to do. In the evening read part of Shakespeare’s Works.
