Wednesday, August 1 1764

In the morning Mr Baley called on me and we walked up to Mr Vine’s, where we examined his books of accounts. We dined there on a piece of pork, an apple pudding and some cabbage (my servant at home dining on a plain suet pudding and some greens). Came home about 5:30. A very wet evening. Sam Jenner, coming in and the rain continuing, took part of my bed. But very little to do in the shop all day. In the evening instructed Samuel Jenner on the Branan Rules [Brenan’s Rule].
