Thursday, Febraury 2 1764

In the forenoon Mr Francis Elless my old acquaintance came to see me and dined with me on some pork bones broiled and the remains of yesterday’s dinner with some onion sauce. Mr Elless and I balanced his account, and the balance due to me was 3.16.7; in consideration of it’s being a pretty long time standing, he gave me his note of hand for the sum of four pounds, payable on demand with lawful interest.

In the evening Thomas Durrant, his father and myself went down to Joseph Fuller’s to spend the evening with Joseph Fuller Jr, which we did and came home about 10:20, but I am not so happy as to have the pleasure of saying quite sober.
