1772 July 28 (Tuesday). A Remarkable Day for Brightness, and Burning Heat: but little Wind. Reapers are Phinehas, Breck and Elias. They break off at 11 a.m., for they began very early. They go to work again about 4 p.m. Before the Heat came on I waited on my Cousen Bradford with my Horse: and we rode northwardly and Southwardly for the Sake of an Airing. Cousen Bradshaw from Brookfield and lodges here.
