Friday, October 26 1764

In the morning busy a-writing… In the forenoon my old acquaintance and very worthy friend Mr John Breeden and his son called on me and dined with me on some mutton chops broiled. I received of Mr Breeden 17/- in full, and he and his son went away immediately after dinner.

Paid Ben Shelley in cash 3.3.6 in full for the same sum he paid in London for me… Rec’d a receipt from Mr Nicholas Wake at Winton by Joseph Fuller that the bill for 4.19.6 sent him the 15th instant came safe to hand. At home all day and posted part of my day book. In the evening very busy. After the first part of the evening was over I walked up to Joseph Fuller’s, but did not stay…
