July 4, 1755

1755 July 4 (Friday).  Mr. Twitchell mows for me near my House, part of the Day and gives it.  Captain Codman of Charleston was poison’d lately by a Negro.  My Son Thomas has his Fitts yet, and Billy grows worse.  May God prepare us for his Sovereign Will!  At Evening Mr. Baldwin here.  N.B. Mr. Beeton broke up his acre joining to me.  He had 16 or 18 Cattle.
