Sent by John Watford to the general receiver of the land tax for this county, who collects today at Maresfield, in cash £41 and the 2 bank bills I received of Mr Porter the 27th ult., value £35, which makes together the sum of £76 4 and is in full for half a year’s land tax for this parish the salary outset due at St Michael last. He accordingly brought me back a proper receipt.
I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a light pudding and turnips. At home all day and very little to do. In the evening Mr Dodson called on me, but did not stop. A very wet evening. Received of Joseph Durrant 14/-; ditto of Mr James Bristed 12/-, both in full for half a year’s land tax due at St Michael last.
