1751 June 25 (Tuesday). My Wife growing very Lame, I waited on her to Lieutenant Bezaleal Eagers,[1] where She was blooded by Dr. Smith. I left her and proceeded up the Road to enquire after Clabboards — hearing of Some at Worcester I road up there — call’d at Mr. Cushings and at Captain Jennisons[2] — din’d at Mr. Maccartys. Bought a thousand of White Pine Clabboards of Captain Chandler, for 20£ old Tenor. Return’d to my Wife at Eagers, were both of us decently entertain’d: and, with my mind much reliev’d by my Success, came home in peace. Another Swarm of Bees, or Two which Captain Maynard hives — and is much Stung.
