Tuesday, September 11 1764

Mr Long stayed and breakfasted with me, and then went away. I dined on part of a neck of lamb roasted, and some carrots. At home all day and very busy. In the evening paid. Joseph Fuller Jr in cash £20 in full for the same sum borrowed of him the 20th day July, and took up my note of hand which I then gave him. Also paid him in cash 20/- in full for 2 years’ interest due on a note of hand for ten pounds due the 11th day of March last, which note of hand I took up and gave him another for ten pounds payable to himself or order on demand, with interest for the same after the rate of five pounds percent per annum, to commence from the 11th of March last, and dated this day.

James Emery at work for me all day and dined with me. My servant sat up with the wife of John Streeter, who is dangerously ill. Thomas Durrant took part of my bed. At home all day and thank God very busy.
