Paid Joseph Fuller Jr 4/6 in full for 2 stone 2 lbs beef bought of him today. Sam Virgoe, a-writing for me, dined with me on a cold skirt pie and carrots. James Marchant, Elizabeth Mepham, Dame Vallow and daughter, buying some things in the shop, drank tea with me.
In the evening went down to Mr Porter’s, where I stayed and supped and smoked 2 or 3 pipes. Came home about 10:30. Rec’d of Richard Prall by the payment of his daughter Ann 7/6 on account. Very busy all day. I wish I were employed in this manner every day.
