Thursday, January 5 1764

A very wet morning. A person come to settle in this parish as a farrier dined with me on part of a neck of mutton boiled and some turnips. Rec’d of Ed Foord 3.4.0; ditto of James Fuller 1.8.0; ditto of Mrs French £16; ditto of Mr Carman 1.6.0; ditto of Ed Hope 1.8.0; ditto of William Wenham 0.16.0, all of which is in full for half a year’s land tax due at St Michael last. At home all day and very little to do.
