I dined on the remains of Wednesday’s dinner. At home all day and very little to do, ah! very little indeed.
I think it makes me quite by myself. I am so confined with family connections and some large debtors in my parish that I hardly know which way to act or extricate myself out of so great a dilemma. For as I live now every, nay ,all my effects and affairs are in a ruinous condition. My household affairs suffer waste and my business both at home and abroad receives injury from neglect.
