1751 November 11 (Monday). In the Morning it rain’d. But so heavy did the Affair of Sudbury lie upon us that Mr. Martyn and I determin’d to ride to Southborough and Conferr with Mr. Stone who was another sent to: we stop’d at my other House where were Messrs. Noah How and Daniel Garfield junior who at this Time bought my Fat Steer — agreed to give 13 pence old Tenor for him Hide Beef and Tallow. We call’d also to see old Mr. Rogers, with whom I pray’d. When we came to Southborough Mr. Stone was gone abroad. We sent after him — din’d and tarry’d there until sunsetting but saw him not. We drew up a Letter to the Sudbury Committee and to Mr. Loring. In my return home, call’d to see Mr. Amsden. John Woods return’d to work here p.m.
