Saturday, December 31 1763

In the forenoon my brother Moses came over in order to carry some goods to Mrs Porter, who is now at Chailey. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. At home all day. In the evening read a sermon to T. Davy preached by the Rev Mr Nicholl, vicar of Westham, at the last visitation held by the Rev Thomas [Matthias] D’Oyly, Archdeacon of Lewes, against the execrable sin of simony.

Gave the carrier’s servant 12d as box money.
