1748 May 2 (Monday). Joseph Bowker came to work for me for 4 months, Wages 50£, Old Tenor. Ebenezer and he brought my Cow (with her Calf) that had been kept at Lieutenant Tainter’s. I walked over to Mr. Whipples. N.B. Mr. Silas Walker of Nichewog there. Mr. Whipple was so kind as to lend me his Horse to ride to Mr. Joseph Knowltons. I visited his Wife and pray’d with her. Visited Elijah Bellows[1] Sick of a Fever and pray’d with him. A Thunder Storm arose and kept me there and at Mr. Whipples till it was late in the Evening.
