Sam Jenner at work for me all day and dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Mrs Carman and her servant, buying a great many things in the shop, drank tea with me. At home all day and very busy. In the evening Sam Jenner and I played a few games of cribbage, but neither of us won or lost. Sam Jenner took part of my bed.

In the forenoon Sam Jenner went over to Framfield for me. In the evening read part of Collins’s Peerage of England. Remarkable fine pleasant weather for the season. Rec’d of Elizabeth Akehurst the guinea I lent her the 7th instant. In the morning began stating and settling an account between Thomas Davy and Mr John Gosling, but could not complete it.
