1746 March 21 (Friday). Mr. Joseph Batchellor[1] brought a piece of Strip’d Camblot[2] Stuff which he had wove for my Daughter Molly. Having taken notice that Robert Bradish insists upon my Making out the Grounds of Letter of Admonition to him, I sent for Mr. Beriah Rice to come to me, who came accordingly at Evening. And this Very Evening I receiv’d a Tart Note from Robert who thinks of Putting me to greater Trouble if I don’t produce my Informers. Such his Insolence towards me, in addition to his Reproaches.
[1]The weaver of Grafton.
[2]Camlet or camblet, a fine, closely woven fabric of camel’s hair or perhaps mixed wool and silk. This was once commonly used for cloaks.
