April 12, 1745

1745 April 12 (Friday).  Last night our Small Flock of Sheep Sett on by Doggs.  A principal Ewe lay Dead, and mostly Eat up: her Lamb left to be brought up by Hand.  A Weather also much bitt, that we much doubted of its Life.  Thomme not well, and the Weather wet and Cold so that we defer his going to Mr. Batchellors at Grafton.
