July 21, 1764

1764 July 21 (Saturday).  Breck So commands my mare as to make her plow; and he and John hoe in the Field behind the Meeting House.  Mr. Moore of Oxford here from Cambridge — tells me there was no Commencement — no public Assembly — That the Governor etc. were at Cambridge on Thursday — That the workmen are working on Harvard College.  After Dinner I considered that Mrs. Bowman was expecting her Hour, that it must needs be agreeable to Mr. B. for me to change with him, that he might be with his wife at such a Time as this; not that I would go to Oxford, but as he had agreed with Mr. Hutchinson to go there, I would take Mr. Bowmans place at Grafton.  This therefore I proceeded to do.  Went to Mr. B. who, though at first seemed not to choose it, having had another Scheme, yet afterwards desired it; and, Mr. Moore my Company I went to Grafton — Mr. H. to Oxford according to Appointment.  I lodged at Grafton.
