I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Paid John Martin at Laughton 9/- in full for 2 m 6d nails bought of him today. Paid John Piper in cash £20 in full for the bill of the same value I received of him the 15th ult., and for which I then gave my note of hand which I have this day taken up.
At home all day and very busy. A very cold day. In the evening Sam Jenner sat with me some time and Dame Durrant’s servant took a part of my servant’s bed, they having company at home. In the evening read part of A Tour through England.
