My brother’s arm excessive bad. Mr Stone paid him a visit. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Paid Mr Ben Shelley by his brother John Shelley in cash 7.10.9 in full for the same sum he paid in London for me this week…
About 3:30 I walked over to Thomas Davy’s, from whence I went to church and stood sponsor for his infant daughter (in company with Mr George Bannister, Dame Cornwell and Molly French). We came back and drank tea and coffee at Mr T. Davy’s, and also spent the evening, and supped with him on bread, cheese, puffs and plum cake, with Joseph Fuller Jr, Thomas Durrant and Samuel Jenner added to our company. We broke up about 11:20 very sober. I gave the nurse 18d.
This day received a letter that my sister kept her chamber [i.e., had to stay indoors]. Rec’d of Henry Parker by cash and land tax receipt 1.8.0 on Mr Vine’s account.
