Sam Jenner, sawing wood for me all day, dined with me and my sister on a piece of beef boiled, an apple pudding and potatoes. Paid Richard Fuller 23½d for a hind quarter of West Indies mutton weighing 9½ lbs at 2½d per lb received by him today. Paid Ben Shelley by his brother John 7/9 in full for the same sum paid in London for me…
In the afternoon my sister went to pay Mrs Carman a visit, and about 6:30 Thomas Durrant and I went down to accompany her home. We together with my sister and Bett Fuller stayed and supped at Mr Carman’s in company with their own family on a piece of beef boiled, two ducks roasted, gravy sauce, potatoes, turnips and a fine plain bread pudding and some tarts. We played some time at a game called “Laugh and lay down”; I lost 7d at it. Gave Mr Carman’s maid 6d and came home very sober about 1:30. Sam Jenner took part of my bed.
