[The word per as used above replaces an elaborate symbol which it has not been thought necessary to print].
For these respective bills of £16, 60, 20, 40 together £136, I gave Mr Thomas Carman my receipt with a promissory note thereon to pay him or his order on demand as soon as I shall have received the cash for the said bills.
Mr Carman and Joseph Fuller smoked a pipe with me in the evening. Fanny Weller took part of my servant’s bed. At home all day and thank God very busy. A vastly fine seed time.
