Tuesday, March 5 1765

Sent Mr John Foord at Seals near Mere in Wilts enclosed in a letter (in one to Mr Thomas Calverley, Southwark, for him to forward by the post) by Ben Shelley one bill on Mr Will Margesson dated today, 30 days’ date, No. 642, value 10.13.0, which bill when paid is in full on my account with Mr Foord.

At home all day and very little to do in the shop. Trade I think was never so dull as at this time. Sam Jenner, coming in to my house in the evening, took part of my bed, it being excessive wet all the evening. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with a few cheek bones stewed.
