My late servant Mary Martin came to see me in the morning and breakfasted with me. Sam Jenner came in the forenoon to assist me in stating the parish accounts, and he and my late servant dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a green salad.
In the afternoon went down to Jones’s, there being a public vestry held for making up the present overseers’ accounts and choosing new officers. Mr Carman and I as overseers made up [?] accounts with the parish, and there was due to the parish 6.7.1. The officers nominated for the ensuing year are: Thomas Turner, churchwarden, Edward Foord, electioner; myself again, overseer (as well as [churchwarden]), Thomas Carman, overseer; James Fuller and John Watford, electioners.
