Myself and servant at church in the morning. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of some cucumbers. Paid Master Hook 3/- for his attesting and the Justice’s clerk’s fees for their allowing the certificate I and Mr Carman signed and sealed the 12th instant.
Myself and servant at church in the afternoon… Thomas Durrant drank tea with me. My servant went to see Molly French after churchtime. A remarkable wet day; at home all day and very melancholy. Oh, how agreeable did the time use to pass of Sunday evening in my wife’s lifetime. What it now does! Then we did usually spend it agreeable to the dictates of religion. I wish I could say the same now.
