I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. In the afternoon Mr Porter and I walked up to the house of Mrs Piper to settle some accounts relating to our trust as executors to Mr Will Piper. We balanced accounts and there remains in my hands (as accountant and treasurer to the trust, as well as executor) the sum of 16.7.6½ I paid Mrs Piper 4/6 for 1 bushel malt delivered for the use of Mr John Vine. We stayed and drank tea with Mrs Piper and came home about 7:20.
During my absence my brother Moses and Mr Snelling came to see me; they both spent the evening with me, and Mr Snelling stayed all night with me. But very little to do in the shop today. Trade is most certainly very dull.
