Mr Tipper stayed and breakfasted with me and then went away. Rec’d of Will Driver in cash 1.2.2,of which 4/- was in full for half a year’s land tax due at Lady Day last, -14/- in full for the same sum assessed on him by a poor rate made the 17th day of April last, and 4/2 for a book debt.
I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. After dinner I rode to the sitting of the commissioners at Maresfield to get the land and window tax books signed and also the distress warrant for each. The books and warrants were signed by George Medley, Will Durrant and John Burgess. I also took out a distress warrant for poor tax. In my absence my brother came over to stand the shop for me and he, Mrs Ranger and Mrs Starnes, who bought some goods in my absence, drank tea at my house. Came home about 7:20. Spent today as under:
| Myself | 0.0.10 |
| Horse | 0.0.2 |
| Turnpike | 0.0.2 |
| A lash in my whip | 0.0.4 |
| 0.1.6 |
In the evening wrote my London letters…
