I breakfasted with my friend and Mr Tipper and I dined with him on a shoulder of mutton roasted and French beans. My servant at home dined at Joseph Durrant’s. After dinner we set out for home. We took Brighthelmstone in our road home where we stayed and baited ourselves and horses. Came home very safe and sober about 8:10, but very tired. Spent today as under:
