Friday, December 7 1764

Sam Jenner stayed and assisted me today in papering out 3 bags of nails. He dined with me on a beef pudding and Savoy greens. Paid Mr Benjamin Shelley in cash 3/3 in full as follows:

1 stone gallon bottle0.0.9
1 cask yeast0.2.6

At home all day and thank God very busy. Sam Jenner went home in the evening. Not at all well, having a violent cold upon me. A very fine dry day. In the evening read part of Homer’s Iliad translated by Pope.
