Tuesday, June 11 1765

Sent Mr Will Margesson enclosed in a letter by Ben Shelley, delivered to himself, the bill value £30 I received of Mr Haley by Mr Vine yesterday.

Dame Akehurst, a-washing for me all day, dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. In the afternoon rode up to Hawkhurst Common, where one part of the parish was met to play a game of cricket with the other part. I stayed and played one innings but being taken very ill came home about 7:30. Had a violent fever in the evening. Paid my shilling as a gamester. Paid Joseph Fuller 7d for 2 lbs of veal bought of him today.
