March 5, 1740

1740 March 5 (Wednesday).  I rode to Captain Fays to see his wife in her low Condition.  From thence, with Mr. Batchellor[1] in Company great part of the way, to Mr. Zebediah Smiths at Grafton to committ a piece of Pladd and a piece of Callimanco to be dy’d and wove.  Return’d at Eve by Mr. Bezaleel Smiths and Eleazer Pratts,[2] at which places I call’d.  It was raw Cold, and Evening before I could get home, by which I was very much indispos’d.

[1]David Batchellor or Bachellor of Grafton.
