Dame Akehurst a-washing for me all day and dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of an apple pudding and potatoes…
In the evening wrote my London letters… Rec’d of the widow Prall 12/-; rec’d of Will Wenham 12/-, both of which are in full for the same sum assessed on them by a poor rate made the 9th August last. At home all day and very busy. A most prodigious cold frosty day. Dame Akehurst lodged with my servant. Paid Mr French 13½d for 9 lbs beef bought of him today for Dame. Burrage.
