February 10, 1780

1780 February 10 (Thursday).  The plan for going to Cambridge is so ripened that I can’t defeat it.  The affair is chiefly Breck’s, who loads a sleigh with Grain etc. and loads up with Rum — has provided two Horses as well as the Sleigh.  And his Brother Josiah Brigham was to go down to Watertown therewith, but Elias is so urgent to undertake it, and has already agreed to go with David Fay, who is going likewise, that this morning to my no small Disquietment, sat out.  Master Hazletine dined with us.  P.M. Elias returns, not being able to proceed on his Journey.
