I dined on a piece of beef boiled and an apple pudding. Finished posting my day book. A very cold day and a great deal of snow fell, but there being no frost, it did not lie long on the ground. In the evening went down to Mr Porter’s, where I stayed and supped and spent the evening with him (Mrs Porter being ill at Mayfield). I came home about 9:50, and after I came home read part of Butler’s Posthumous Works.
