The Best Of A Bad Bargain.

I See It Is Impossible For The King To Have Things Done As Cheap As Other Men.

Find Myself £43 Worse Than I Was The Last Month ... Chiefly Arisen From My Layings-out In Clothes For Myself And Wife; Viz., For Her, About £12, And For Myself, £55 Or Thereabouts.

Thanks Be To God, Since My Leaving Drinking Of Wine, I Do Find Myself Much Better, And Do Mind My Business Better, And Do Spend Less Money, And Less Time Lost In Idle Company.

The Best Of A Bad Bargain.

But It Is Pretty To See What Money Will Do.
