1752 July 9 (Thursday). Mr. Claffland and Daniel Adams mow’d in the Ministerial Meadow, the Weather hot, and very tedious to hard labourers — but now is the principal Season of Vigourous Engagement. P.M. came up a violent Storm. Thunder and Lightning. N.B. Mrs. Mary Steward visited us and left a present in silver (50/ old Tenor) in new linnen Cloth for Shirts for several of my little Children, and in some Rie meal, to the Value of near 5£ old Tenor.
