In the forenoon went down to Halland where I received of Mr Coates 2.16.0 in full for the same sum assessed on him by a rate made the 17th instant towards the relief of the poor.

Sam Jenner at work for me all day, and dined with me on a piece of beef roasted. In the afternoon walked up to Mr Thomas Reeve’s, where I received of him in cash and by a bill on the parish account 5.11.0 in part of poor tax. Rec’d of Thomas Davy 16/- in full for poor tax. Sent Mr William Margesson in cash £100 by Ben Shelley, which was delivered to himself by Mr H. Dodson and Sam Jenner. My late servant stayed all night.
