My late servant Mary Martin came to see me in the morning and breakfasted with me. In the forenoon my brother came over to assist me again in cutting out some bedding and he and my late servant dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of some kidney and skirts fried, as did Jenner on the remains of what we left, he going to Lewes for me.
They all stayed and drank tea with me and then my brother went home. Down at Halland twice today. In the evening Sam Jenner and I played a few games of cribbage; I won 3d. My late servant stayed all night.
Pretty busy today. My late servant and I balanced account. I made all even on both sides.
