1745 April 19 (Friday). Mr. Danforth was come up to Cambridge last night, So that this morning we went on with our Business; and Three of the Prizers, viz. Captain Sharp, Messrs. Gardner and Sparhawk were Sworn. Brother Hicks and I endeavour’d to Expedite Matters by Measuring the Land as we were able, but having no Compass, we only carry’d the Chain upon the Lines, and deferr’d the exact Calculating to such Time as we could have a Surveyer. We din’d in Mother’s Room. N.B. Captain Dana came at the Beginning of the work, which was Somewhat after 11 o’Clock a.m. Deacon Prentice came at 3 p.m. At Eve the Gentlemen endeavour’d to persuade Brother Champney to Apply himself to the work of the Season.
