May 13, 1775

1775 May 13 (Saturday).  I rode down through our South East Corner to Hopkinton to Dr. Wilsons.  Called at Capt. Clarks to See him.  He has been confined to his Bed by reason of a Fall — in which his Hip bone was greatly injured.  Mrs. Cotton also was not well.  I dined there.  Young Stimson took Capt. Clarks Horse and rode to one Mr. Alexanders to bring up William Bradfords Bundle, which was Supposed to be brought there from Charlestown with Goods of [Capt.?] John Tyler of Boston.  But it was not there.  Went to Mr. Fitch’s, and he to Westborough.  Visit at Mr. Barretts where is Mr. Bowen, his wife and Child, who with Difficulty have escaped out of Boston.  Lodged at Mr. Fitch’s.
