1739 November 12 (Monday). Mr. Cushing made me a Visit and pray’d with us. I was very weak and feeble. N.B. David Maynard, junior and his Brother Jotham came and had Two Store Piggs of me. The one weigh’d 46, the other 54. At Eve Mr. Frink came to see me. N.B. Captain Eager brought home the Fatt Cow, bought of Mr. Jabez Rice[1] for £13.5.0. Mr. David Maynard junior watch’d. I had the best night of any Since I was Sick, and it had been most pleasant to enjoy by Dear Brothers Company. D.G.
