My brother called on me in his road to Hailsham and paid me the £24 for the bill I gave him the 27th instant, and I accordingly gave him his note of hand. I dined on a hasty pudding.
After dinner I rode to a fair at the Dicker in company with Mr T. Durrant, Joseph, Bett and Richard Fuller, Molly and Sam French, Bett Bridgman. At the fair I and Mr Joseph Fuller agreed with Mr Sam Stace at Berwick that he should take all the effects of Mr Vine at St Michael next at an appraisement. Came home about 9:30.
My servant in my absence received of Thomas Reeve by the payment of his daughter 1.1.0, which with the sum of 2.9.0 received the 17th instant is in full for one year’s window tax (14/-) and half a year’s land tax 2.16.0 due at Lady Day last. Spent at the fair today 2/1. Paid Joseph Fuller 6d for half a calf’s head bought of him today.
