…I dined on a bullock’s heart and kidney pie, hot. In the afternoon wrote out several bills. In the evening, Joseph Fuller Jr having an inclination to give me and some more of his most intimate friends (or at least acquaintances) a little treat, and not having the opportunity to do it at his father’s, he brought some brandy etc. to my house and he, my brother, Thomas Durrant and myself spent the evening till near 11 o’clock, but I have not the pleasure to say I was quite sober.
