Wednesday, March 6 1765

My brother Moses came to my house in the morning and called on me, and we went together to Lewes in order to meet Mr Stephen Fletcher, servant to Mr Sam Ridings at Manchester. We breakfasted at the White Horse in company with Mr Fletcher and bought of him each a parcel of goods. We came home together as far as our roads led. I came home about 11:10, very sober. Spent upon myself, horse and ostler 4d.

Sam Jenner dined with me on a hot pork bone pie. At home all the afternoon; a prodigious wet afternoon and evening. Sam Jenner and I in the evening played 34 games of cribbage, but left off even.
