April 10, 1761

1761 April 10 (Friday).  Having much Trouble with my Sheep getting in upon my Neighbour Beetons Rye, I had yoked 5 of them.  But finding by Alex that the Defect is chiefly in Capt. Woods, Beetons and Barny Newtons Fences, I go to Mr. Beetons and to Capt. Wood’s, as Soon as I had dined, to confer with them about it.  N.B. At Capt. Woods were Deacon Wheelock of Medfield, Mr. Cullock and Pond.  At my Return Miss Patty and Suse that went from us Yesterday, came back here, and my Suse who went with them last Eve to Capt. Maynards.  When they had drank Tea, they Sat out for Marlborough.  Deacon Tainter returned from Boston.  Another Letter from Mr. Hutchinson concerning Providence and to desire Mr. Martyn and Mr. Stone (as well as me) to preach there.
