May 17, 1760

1760 May 17 (Saturday).  Had an uneasy, painful Night, by reason of my Head and Neck Still greatly disordered.  Dont pretend to prepare for the Sabbath.  Mr. E. Rice here a.m. tells me he Shall soon move out of my House.  P.M. Jacob Rice’s Brother is come for him; and he leaves us.  I accept of Two Dollars for nigh a months Board.  Capt. Wood kindly makes me a Visit.  My Wife uses an Ironing Box on my Neck — at the advice of Dr. Wright.
