My worthy friend Mr John Breeden called and breakfasted with me, and I received of him 2.18.0 in full. He being a-going to London, he borrowed my horse and left me his. My father Slater called on me about 11:10 and stayed and dined with me…as did also Thomas Durrant. I paid my father Slater the guinea I borrowed of him yesterday.
After dinner I rode with him for company to Framfield. I stayed and drank tea with my brother and sister and came home about 7:05, sober… Joseph Fuller and Thomas Durrant smoked a pipe with me in the evening. Thank God pretty busy all day. Oh, how pleasant is the season of the year. All nature wears the livery, as it were, of gaiety.
