Paid Joseph Fuller 4/7 for 2 stone 6 lbs of beef bought of him today. Also paid him 11d for a shoulder of mutton bought of him today for Dame Burrage, weighing ½ lbs. Dame Akehurst, a-washing and scouring for me the whole day, dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. At home all day and pretty busy. In the evening Sam Jenner sat with me a while. Paid Dame Akehurst 9d for her day’s work. A very remarkable fine dry time, though not frosty.
