Thursday, November 24 1763

…I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Paid Mr Thomas Carman in cash £20, which with the £100 paid him the 22nd ult. and the £16 the 31st ult. makes together the sum of £136 and is in full for bills received of him the 30th September, for which I then gave him my note of hand. (I have now taken it up and burnt it).

Mr Bannister, having lately taken from the smugglers a freight of brandy, entertained Mr Carman, Mr Joseph Fuller and myself with a bowl of punch in the evening at my house.
