Sunday, November 25 1764

Myself at church in the morning… Paid Thomas Tester in cash and goods 13/4 in full for stacking hop poles on account of Mr John Vine’s effects. Myself and servant at church in the afternoon…

After churchtime I went up to Joseph Fuller’s, where I drank tea in company with their own family and Bett and Molly Carman. Came home about 6:10 and then went into Joseph Durrant’s, where I stayed an hour. Thomas Durrant came home with me and took part of my bed, they having company at home.

This day between 12 and 1 o’clock died Mrs Brook, widow and sister to Mrs Atkins, aged 79 years. She has been ill a great while and continued her strength till nature was quite exhausted. I

dined on a leg of West Indies mutton roasted and potatoes.
