Paid Richard Vine, weaver at Laughton, in cash 1.3.8¼, which with a book debt of 1.0.2¾ makes together the sum of 2.3.1 and is in full for a bill of weaving on the parish account… Paid Richard Fuller 12d for a calf’s bell bought of him today. Dame Akehurst a-ironing for me all day and dined with me on some calf’s liver and rashers of pork fried.
In the afternoon my old acquaintance Mr Francis Elless came to see me and stayed and drank tea with me. At home all day and thank God very busy. In the evening Sam Jenner sat with me some time. A very pleasant day. In the evening read part of Butler’s Hudibras.
