Sent Mr Will Margesson…the bank bill value £15 which I exchanged for Mr Porter the 5th instant, as also the two notes from Hankey & Co. to Durrant, value £10 each, which I received of Joseph Fuller the 6th instant. Sent Mr Nicholas Wake at Winton… 6.11.0… Sent Mr Samuel Beaven at the Devizes 1 bill… value £6… Also sent in Mr Samuel Beaven’s letter to Mr Richard Waite at the Devizes 1 bill on Mr Will Margesson… value 4.7.6, which bill when paid is in full on my account with Mr Richard Waite. The letter enclosing the bill to Mr Wake, as also that to Mr Sam Beaven, enclosing his bill and Mr Waite’s, I sent enclosed in a letter to Mr John Crouch in order for him to forward by the post…

I dined on the remains of Sunday’s dinner. My landlord Mr Francis Weller called on me today, but did not stay. I lent Sam Jenner my horse today, who came back in the evening and stayed and took part of my bed… At home all day and very little to do in the shop.
