1740 September 17 (Wednesday). Mr. Baines[1] of Marlborough came to digg my Well. A.M. it rain’d. P.M. he wrought. I rode to the South and South west of the town, was at old Mr. Rice’s. The Chief had been there and remember’d the Old Gentleman. They were down with him to view the place where he was carry’d away Captive. N.B. I wrote to the Governor concerning the Captives.
