1755 June 23 (Monday). I made it my Business to Visit Mrs. Bruce. But went to Mr. Adams’s first, because he was poor. N.B. I Sent by the widow Beeman to Mr. Eliphalet Adams, that it was only through forgetfullness that his Case was omitted in the Prayer. I visited the Widow Beaman also. As to Lieutenant Bruce, he now receiv’d me civily — no word of yesterday; only when I parted while I had him by the Hand I told him I would not have any Difficulty between him and me, and he answer’d Smiling, “with all my Heart.” At Eve was at Captain Maynards. Lieutenant Maynard pitches upon Friday for Breaking up for Me. N.B. My Daughters Elizabeth and Lucy not return’d yet. Alpheus and Abner Newton a.m. draw off Stones from the Ground behind the Meeting House, with Six oxen. 2 Yoke Abners, and one Yoke Neighbour Zebulun Rice’s.
