October 8, 1760

1760 October 8 (Wednesday).  Alex. brought from Mr. Parker Seven Barrells of Cyder, made at Capt. Maynards Mill.  He had Mr. Nurse’s Waggon to bring it in.  At Eve Ensign Asa Brigham came from Boston, but full of Grief, as he had undertaken to bring me up a Large Looking Glass from my Brother William but nothing besides the Frame and the Case it was put into, remained whole.  The Glass was dashed into numberless Pieces.
