1759 March 6 (Tuesday). The Widow Newton having sent me word yesterday that She had some money to let to me if I needed it (It was by her son Paul, who wanted to hire it, but She told him She could not let him have it, if I wanted it), I went to her and hired of her upward of 32£ old Tenor. N.B. I took up the Several Notes I had heretofore given and paid the Interest of each of them to this Day, and gave her New Notes of this Day, one for £8.13.4 Lawful Money or 65£ old Tenor, the Other for £1.6.8 Lawful Money or 10£ Old Tenor. In Every Thing respecting it, I was very punctual and Exact as if Deacon Newton himself were now alive. Sarah goes first to Dr. Chase to get her tooth pulled out; but in Vain; he was not at home. Thomas went with her in Mr. Nurse’s Sleigh. I visit Mr. Nurse — his Sleigh goes again to carry Sarah to get her tooth pulled. Alexander drives for her. She goes to Mr. Biglow, who took it out, though bad to draw. At Eve Deacon Tainter here. Tells me he has been to Sutton; and to see Mr. Welman who remains very Stiff — vindicates himself and says he has Done no Evil. Which fills me with much Grief.
