Day: May 24, 1781

May 24, 1781

1781 May 24 (Thursday).  I did what I could to attend a Catechizing.  There were but 24 Boys — and p.m. 31 Girls — But I was much pierced with the Wind in coming home — Shook much with Strong Ague — and had an ill night, attended with Feverishness.

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.
