…I dined on a veal pie. Rec’d of Mrs Hannah Atkins £3 in full for the same sum assessed on her lands etc. by the poor rate made the 17th instant. Also received of her in cash 2.18.6 in full.

In the afternoon my brother Moses came over and stayed and drank tea with me. In the evening my brother-in-law Sam Slater came back from Lewes and stayed at my house all night. I took part of Thomas Durrant’s bed. At home all day and pretty busy. Paid the Rev Mr Porter in cash 2.7.6 in full for 5 sacks of oats on Mr John Vine’s account.
