Myself, brother and servant at church in the morning… I dined on a beef pudding and potatoes. Before churchtime in the afternoon my brother Moses came over. I borrowed of him in cash £20, for which I did not give him any note of hand. Myself, two brothers and servant at church in the afternoon… Mr Carman, Sam Jenner, my brother and Joseph Fuller Jr drank tea with me.
After tea my brother Richard and I took a walk (Molly Hicks, my favorite girl, being come to pay Mrs Atkins a visit in the evening, went home to her father’s, and I along with her, my brother going with her companion for company). We came back about 8:10. This is a girl which I have taken a great liking to, she seeming to all appearances to be a girl endued with a great deal of good nature and good sense, and withal so far as has hitherto come to my knowledge is very discreet and prudent.
