1764 October 20 (Saturday). Bid Adieu to my good Friend and Brother Green and his. Mr. Williams and I (as requested) dine at Coll. Otis’s. N.B. His Barn — Drills — Onions — 420 Bush from 135 Rod of Ground — 90 Bush from 19 Rods. His Wine of Currants — Cyder — made better by this method — viz. Draw it off in March, before the Bud Swells; put in 2 oz. of Pulverized Allum, in a pint of West India Rum — and break in 2 Cakes of Gingerbread. We arrive at Sandwich at Eve, and lodge at Mr. Williams’s.
