1752 July 21 (Tuesday). In the Morning walk’d to the Ministerial Meadow, hoping to find a Number of Hands there, but there was only Mr. Phinehas Hardy mowing there. I went to Mr. James Maynards to get a Hand to be with him, but succeeded not — to Mr. Joseph Green junior and prevail’d. He mow’d p.m. I din’d at Mr. Edwards Whipples p.m. I went down into Chauncy Meadows and passed through the Rice Meadow. My undertakers there who rake to Day what they mow’d Yesterday, complaining much of it. Consulted Lieutenant Forbush about it. N.B. Lieutenant Forbush complains to me of my strictness in Examining Candidates for Admission into the Church. N.B. My Wife to Mr. Martyns — but return’d home at Night.
