Myself at church in the morning…My brother and Mr Tipper dined with me on a loin of mutton. My brother went away immediately after dinner, and Thomas Durrant and myself took a ride with our friend Tipper to bring him on his Road, and in coming back we called in at Mr Shoesmith’s, where we stayed and drank tea and supped and came home about 11:50, our horses having got away, or we should have been at home sooner.
Joseph Fuller Jr took part of my bed, they having company at home. A very fine pleasant day, but oh, the disquietude of my mind! What would I gave (were it possible to buy it) for the same serene, tranquil and regular course of life as in my dear Peggy’s time!
