1747 November 30 (Monday). A Cold, windy, but bright Day. I am not a little concern’d about my keeping such a large Stock of Cattle for though I have sold a Cow and one of the last Spring Calves yet have we 18 Horn Cattle besides our Horses and Sheep, and I fear my Hay will be short for them all. I therefore walk’d out toward Evening to see if I could either buy Hay or promote the Sale of Some of them or get some kept through the Winter. I went to Mr. Elijah Rice’s and to Mr. Tennys. Call’d at the Shoomaker Garfields and at Neighbour John Chamberlins. We finish this month with a great deal of Comfort and Health both in person and in Family. Blessed be God!
