and it was lost.

15th. Up pretty betimes and rode as far as Godmanehester, Mr. Moore
having two falls, once in water and another in dirt, and there 'light and
eat and drunk, being all of us very weary, but especially my uncle and
wife. Thence to Brampton to my father's, and there found all well, but
not sensible how they ought to treat my uncle and his son, at least till
the Court be over, which vexed me, but on my counsel they carried it fair

again, where L50 per ann. will be a good addition to Tom's trade, and I
think that must be done when all is done. But my father spoke nothing
more of it all the time I was in the country, though at the time he seemed
to like it well enough. I also spoke with Piggott too this evening before
I went in to supper, and doubt that I shall meet with some knots in my
business to-morrow before I can do it at the Court, but I shall do my
best. After supper my uncle and his son to Stankes's to bed, which
