…I dined on a beef pudding and turnips. At home all day and very busy a-writing. In the day wrote out Mr Coates’s bills, and in the evening went to Mr Coates’s to carry them in. Accordingly delivered in four bills, one for bedding, one for the boy’s clothes, one for nails etc. used for repairing the gatehouse, and the other the running account for the house, the aggregate sum of which four bills was 26.17.7¾. I stayed some little time and came home about 7.40. Sam Jenner stayed with me some time in the evening.
