February 24, 1752

1752 February 24 (Monday).  Billy to Mr. Allen’s Mill and to Mr. Woods’ fulling Mill with a pair of blanketts to be fulled.  Came home so late p.m. that I could not go to Mr. Pierce’s to see his son William who is sick.  In the morning I went to Mr. Ebenezer Rice’s and talked with his wife about her drinking which she denies herself guilty of.[1]

[1]Anna, the daughter of Charles Rice of Westborough married Ebenezer Rice of Southborough, March 23, 1743.  This couple made their home in Westborough but were evidently not admitted to the church.
