I dined on a hog’s clad piece boiled and some greens. Paid Robert Hook in cash £3 in part of his parish bill. Molly and Bett Carman, Pat Pollard and Lucy Emery drank tea with me. The two Carmans and Sam Jenner and myself played a few games of whist in the evening; I won 3½d.
At home all day and thank God very busy. Sam Jenner stayed and took part of my bed. Oh, what pleasure does a busy active life give! It quite enlivens the spirits and adds fresh vigor to nature.
