Dame Akehurst a-washing for me all day and dined with me on a piece of beef roasted and some potatoes. Dame Novice, Dame Nutley and her daughter, buying some things in the shop, drank tea with me. In the evening Mr Carman, Thomas Durrant and Joseph Fuller Jr coming in, we walked down to John Jones’s, where we stayed chatting and smoking our pipes till 11:30. We spent 7d apiece and came home very sober.
