1739 July 11 (Wednesday). Fine Day but no Body at Work except my little Boys. I walk’d down to Ensign Maynards, where was Mr. Tainter[1] of Marlborough. P.M. he was at our House, as was also Mr. Caleb Rice. N.B. Mr. Rice acquainted me with the Affair of Lieutenant Ward[2] of Sturbridge and one Smith in Leicester.
[1]Deacon Joseph Tainter.
