January 11, 1779

1779 January 11 (Monday).  I diligently read Biography.  Dr. Hawes in the Evening.  He offers to pay me money for Timothy’s work for him last year (15 days in the whole, Stephen Maynard worked 2 1/2 for me, Timmy’s at 2 Dolls. and Stephen’s at 3), but I told the Doctor it was in the way of exchanging work, and therefore I expected to have work again for it.  N.B. I wrote by the Doctor to Dav. Sanger.
