In the morning set out for home where we arrived safe and well about 8:45. Spent just 6d this voyage. Dame Akehurst, a-washing for me all day, dined with me on a calf’s head boiled, a piece of pork and greens. At home all day and very little to do. In the evening wrote my London letters. Sam Jenner, coming in the evening, took part of my bed, as did Dame Akehurst part of my servant’s.
Oh, what uneasiness does my folly give me! What is the pleasure of a steady and regular life compared with the life of irregularity!
