Sent to Ben Shelley per his brother in cash £60 in order for him to pay in London for me… Also sent per Mr Benjamin Shelley (delivered to his brother) sealed up in a paper parcel directed to Mr Allen Chatfield, distiller at Croydon, the 10.15.2 received of John Piper yesterday…
My brother stayed and dined with me on a fillet of veal roasted and stuffed, a piece of bacon and an apple pudding, with some gooseberries in it and a green salad. He also stayed and drank tea with me and then went away. At home all day and very little to do.
