Day: October 8, 1779

October 8, 1779

1779 October 8 (Friday).  Breck lends me the money I want for Elias, viz. 231 Dollars.  We are unhappily low in the Meat Tub: which induced me to go to the Squires and Deacons, to enquire about Supplys.  Drank Tea at the Groaning House (Capt. Woods) there being both old and young Mrs. Bakers.

Why Do the Days Listed in the Diary Entries before Sept. 15, 1752 Not Correspond to the Days on the Calendar?

In 1752, Great Britain and the American colonies switched from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, which we use today in a slightly updated form.
