January 7, 1779

1779 January 7 (Thursday).  I rode in the Sleigh to see the Widow Rice (widow of the late Mr. Edmund Rice).  As I went I called to see old Mr. James Maynard and his Wife.  I visited and dined at Mr. J. Crooks.  N.B. He lately lost his pocket book with 300 dollars and other papers.  In returning home I called at Mr. Amasa Maynard’s.  At evening, Mr. Nathan Maynard, junior here, and returns me 50 Dollars (in one Bill) of the money he lately borrowed.  Sixteen Dollars are yet behind.
