Myself only at church in the morning… We dined on a pig roasted and bread sauce. In the morning Mr Snelling went on his journey. Our late and present servants at church in the afterternoon. During churchtime in the morning Mr Snelling called in his road home, but did not stay. In the evening read part of the Book of Job.
