At home all day. Gave Dame Burrage 12d on the parish account… Dame Braizer and her daughter drank tea with us. In the evening read part of Homer’s Odyssey. Oh! a terrible time took but £5 this week. Dame Durrant’s maid lodged at our house tonight. Thomas Davy sat about an hour with us in the evening.

Homer’s Odyssey and in the evening 5 of Tillotson’s sermons. I can with truth say I have not been one pole from my house today. Oh, nothing to do, the thought of which almost drives me to despair.
