Sent Mr Thomas Calverley enclosed in a letter by Shelley the bill I received of Mr Thomas Bennett yesterday… John Watford at work for me part of the day. He and Mr Long dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a piece of bacon boiled and some garden beans.
In the evening walked down to Halland having an invitation from Mr Coates. I supped there on a piece of cold roast beef and a cold venison pasty in company with Mr Coates and his brother and another of his acquaintance, Mr Turner; Mr Thomas Parker, Joseph Fuller Jr and Sr, Roger Perry, James Fuller, Thomas Carman, Mr Bannister, the Rev Mr Herring, Mr Holman, Mr Hicks, John Saxby, Will Shoesmith Jr, Edward Shoesmith, Francis Turner Jr and Sr, Henry Godley, James Hutson, Joseph Durrant, Thomas Braizer, Master Roffe, Richard Goad, Mr Jeremiah French and Mr John French and several more. We stayed and spent the evening there till about 12 o’clock and then came home, but not one of us thoroughly sober. Mr Francis Weller took part of my bed.
