August 30, 1756

1756 August 30 (Monday).  Ebenezer came and earnestly requests I would help him to get the Gilbert Place in Brookfield near Mr. Forb. but it grieves me I am under such an incapacity to gratifie him herein.  He also talks about Alexanders living with him till he is 14.  But this was not ripened.  Powerfull, plentiful Rains after great Dryness.
