Sent Mr Margesson enclosed in a letter by Ben Shelley delivered to himself the bill value 38.7.6 I received yesterday of Mr Stone. Janes Emery, a-gardening for me part of the day, dined with me on a piece of beef boiled, a hard pudding and some greens.
Dame Watford and her sister Ellen Pierce my late servant drank tea with me. In the afternoon my brother set upon a wild ramble. His first place was Chiddingly, then Laughton Pound where Master Hook, whom I sent in pursuit of him, found him and brought him home about 1:45.
My brother Moses came over in the evening, I having sent to him on the account of Richard’s ramble. He stayed with me till past 12 and then went home. A prodigious wet evening.,
