Sent Mr Thomas Neatby & son…£15… Paid Stephen Fielder 34/- in full on account of the parish. I dined on a hog’s tongue and tail boiled and some greens. At home all day and pretty busy, but not in my shop any other than in marking up of goods.
A good deal out of order with my cold. Sam Jenner sat with me some time in the evening. The spring now begins to show its approach, but to me it seems all winter; that is, in my clouded mind.
