…My brother Moses came over in the forenoon, but did not stay. I received of him in cash £31, for which I am to give him a draft. This day received by the carrier enclosed in a letter from Mr Will Margesson the bill value £19 I sent him the 5th instant, as also the bill value £10 sent him the 12th instant, both drawn by Stone on Baldwin and both returned for non-payment. My brother sent to Mr Stone’s to talk with him about it, but he was not at home.
I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. At home all day and very little to do. A very cold day. In the evening my brother and I played a few games of cribbage; he won of me 6 games. This affair of Stone’s bill makes me very uneasy lest the whole of his bills should be returned, which amounts to 103.7.6.
