Mr John Richards called upon me in the morning and breakfasted with me. In the forenoon walked up to Mr Vine’s about his affairs, where I gave him two guineas and 3 half, out of the cash received on his account.
I lent Francis Turner in cash 6.6.0 on the parish account and took his and his son’s note of hand for the same, payable to myself and Mr Carman as churchwarden and overseer, our or either of our orders on demand, for value received of me, and to bear interest at £4 percent per annum. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner, with the addition of a green salad.
In the afternoon my servant went to Whitesmith Fair. I received of Mr Henry Crowhurst the sum of 1.5.0 in full for one year’s window tax (3/-) and 22/- in full for the same sum assessed on the widow Rich by a poor rate made the 17th ult. I also received of him 10/- in full for one year’s tithe due from the widow Rich to Mr Porter at St Michael last. At home all day, except as before mentioned.
