Paid John Shelley, brother to Ben Shelley, in cash 3.7.9 in full for money paid in London for me… I dined on a bullock’s kidney pie. At home all day and thank God very busy…Charles Diggens drank tea with me. Paid Mr Joseph Fuller Jr in cash 0.2.1½ in full for 1 shoulder of veal weighing 8 ½ lbs at 3d.
In the evening very dull and sleepy; this courting does not well agree with my constitution, and perhaps it may be only taking pains to create more pain.
