November 15, 1738

1738 November 15 (Wednesday).  Sister Hicks[1] brought to bed of her 10th Child — my wife over there till 5 o’Clock this morning.  Mr. Aaron Forbush came to go up to Wachuset.  Ensign Maynard rode with us to Captain Eagers and Lieutenant Holloways but the Rain prevail’d so that we return’d back after dining with Lieutenant Holloways.  N.B. snow’d this morning.

[1]Mrs. John Hicks of Westborough, Parkman’s sister-in-law.
