I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of some onion sauce. In the afternoon I was sent for down to Mrs Hannah Atkins’s, where I and James Marchant were witnesses to her signing and sealing her will, which she declared to be her last will and testament. And we signed it as witnesses in presence of Mr George Verrall and his wife and Mrs Elizabeth Hicks. I stayed and drank tea there on company with the beforementioned (except James Marchant). I came away immediately after tea.
My brother quite ashamed of his last night’s behavior; kept his bed all day. May the supreme Being give and endue him with his preventing grace, strength and resolution of mind enough never to be guilty of drunkenness again. Paid Robert Hook 5/3 in full for the same sum he paid, and for his trouble a-going after my brother yesterday.
