1756 August 7 (Saturday). I rise in a poor, low, pained state. My left Hip Bone and the great Bones on which I sit, are full of Pain. We go on with the Piony-Oak — waiting for Gods Blessing! A.M. Mr. Whitney shaves me, and though I am in danger of taking Cold, yet I hope it is to my Comfort. At Eve it rains. N.B. Billy desired to work at Mr. Nurse’s, that Nathan Kenny may help him, and accordingly goes there till the Rain, and then returns.
