December 22, 1774

1774 December 22 (Thursday).  Am much engaged in my preparations.  Am concerned about Breck who does not come home till night, it being difficult Weather, and the night dark — till at length he came with his Mare in his Hand, Strangely and Suddenly distempered.  Has been obliged to Send Nehemiah Maynard to Mr. Job Carly’s — but he did not come.
