1726 May 19 (Thursday). In the Morning I got on my Journey home. I lit of one [blank] of Lancaster who behaved himself very handsomely and bore my Expenses of Eating and Drinking and oats at the Tavern. I stop’d at Mr. Swifts whose Family (Severall of them being very ill and the rest not well) was much afflicted. I got home seasonably but much fatigued.
