1746 December 22 (Monday). A.M. I rode over to the Southside of the Town. Was at Mr. Beriah Rice’s, Deacon Forbush’s[1] where was Mr. Child of Roxbury, Glazier. Visited Mr. Dunlop who is Sick; This and to Speak with the Glazier were my Chief Errands: was also at Mr. Martin Pratts — din’d (as I return’d home) at Lieutenant Tainters. Very Raw Cold towards Night — but Lieutenant Hezekiah Ward came with a Plott of Land he had laid out for me of 7 1/2 Acres by the Burying place, and would have me go and See it. I went just before sunsett. At Mr. Nurses at Eve and as I return’d home I visited Jonathan Maynard who is ill of a Dropsie.
