Updated: May 31, 2025

I went to bed, leaving my wife and all her folks, and Will also, too, come to make Christmas gambolls to-night. 28th. I waked in the morning about 6 o'clock and my wife not come to bed; I lacked a pot, but there was none, and bitter cold, so was forced to rise and piss in the chimney, and to bed again.
