July 25, 1758

1758 July 25 (Tuesday).  Miss Patty Dunlop here, and very Seasonably for my Wife’s Breast is grown very bad, and Patty can tend the Child better than any one; as She also takes a Singular pleasure and Delight in it.  Mrs. Hitty Rice came p.m.  They both tarry over Night, and are very helpful to my wife under her distressing Pains.  N.B. Thomas hoed with Alexander part of the Afternoon at the Island New Ground, but they were beat off by the Rain.
