Rec’d of Thomas Prall in cash 0.16.0 in full for half a year’s land tax due at Lady Day last, as also 2.8.0 in full for the same sum assessed on him by a poor rate made the 17th day of April last…I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner minced and cucumbers.
At home all day and thank God very busy. In the evening Thomas Durrant sat with me some time. Oh, tumultuous is my mind; once I was all serene and calm, but alas, the object that then fixed my thoughts is now no more.
