1752 February 29 (Saturday). Sam Bumpso brought a parcel of Apples here from Mr. Jonathan Fay’s and from Mr. Grout and dined with us but did not work. Mr. Winchester comes from Boston here. Smallpox doth not spread as t’was reported. May the Lord Pitty his People! Thus has the Lord carried us through the tedious Winter and the changes of it. Blessed be His Name for all his Goodness to Us!
