Friday, August 31 1764

I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Paid Benjamin Shelley in cash 0.12.2 in full… At home all day but sadly out of order with my folly. Oh, may the grace of God for the future direct my steps, that I may never more sin in so great a measure, and that my crimes may be those of the frailty of human nature only, and not those of the will.

Lent Mr George Bannister in cash 3 guineas, for which he gave me his note of hand payable to me or order on demand. Paid Mr Edward Heaver in cash 9/9. Today Mr Thomas Calverley called on me and I balanced accounts with him and paid him one bill on Mr William Margesson…value 53.9.0, which bill when paid is in full on my account with Mr Thomas Calverley.
