May 25, 1758

1758 May 25 (Thursday).  Billy comes up to Brookfield.  He has received 5 Dollars of Capt. Maynard and is promised the rest of the Bounty, as well as the Billetting money with the other Soldiers.  I dined at my son Baldwins.  Have some debate with him about Billy and the fitting him out.  P.M. at Mr. Forb.  Lt. Rice takes Billy for his Waiter.  At Eve Capt. Wit came to see me.  Lodged at Capt. Baldwins — because of Billys Case.
