In the morning I arose and went up to the White Horse where I bought a pretty large parcel of goods of Mr Ridings and Mr Fletcher for myself and brother. I paid Mr John Ridings in cash 3.4.0 in full on my account with his father Mr Sam Ridings to this day, and also paid him in cash 5.2.0 in full on my brother Moses’ account with Mr Sam Ridings. I stayed and had breakfasted with then at the White Horse and then came for Hoathly. I came home about 12:15.
My brother stayed and dined with me on calf’s lights, mint and part of the liver boiled, a piece of a pork and some greens, and then went home. Very little to do in the shop today. Spent in my journey 12d; viz., to Mr Madgwick’s maid 6d, spent upon some punch 6d.
In the evening wrote my London letters. Today read part of The Peerage of England written by John [Arthur] Collins Esq.
