1736 October 26 (Tuesday). I rode to Southborough in the Morning to Lieut. Nathan Brighams[1] to get him to come to rebuild a piece of my Cellar Wall and to lay a Foundation for another Stack of Chimneys at the Same time with it. Very raw Cold. Snow’d a while. I sent an Answer to a Letter I received last night from Worcester, which contained an Invitation to be present at the Ordination of Mr. William Johnson[2] there among the Presbyterians.
