In the day very busy. I dined on part of a calf’s bell boiled and minced, and some greens. At home all day and thank God very busy. In the evening wrote my London letters. Mr Shoesmith and Joseph Fuller, coming in to my house in the evening by accident, as it should appear, though by them a contrived thing, spent the evening with me till about 10:20. My friend Joseph Fuller I must own is rather too fruitful in the invention to contrive some way to get a little liquor or a pipe or two of tobacco.
