Saturday, January 14 1764

Paid John Shelley for his brother, Benjamin Shelley, in cash 2.2.3 in full for the same sum paid this week in London for me… I dined on part of a leg of mutton boiled and some turnips. In the evening balanced accounts with Joseph Durrant and paid him 8/3 in full. My servant sat up with Mrs Hicks, and Thomas Durrant took part of my bed.

At home all day, but very little to do. Rec’d of Thomas Overing one guinea for the expense our parish has been at on account of the death of Will Lidlow, and he accordingly took his body to Chiddingly in order for interment.
