Sam Jenner at work for me all day and dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner, and the addition of some rashers of pork boiled, and green salad. At home all day and very little to do.
Rec’d of Mr James Bristed by the payment of Mr Joseph Durrant in cash 1.12.0 in full for the same sum assessed on his lands in this parish by a poor rate made the 17th ult. Very busy a-marking up goods and putting my shop in order. In the evening read part of the OEconomy of Nature, by Richard Russell M.D. and I think it a very well-wrote treatise.
