1745 March 20 (Wednesday). Captain Goddard return’d to his work, in running the Line. I rode over to Visit Mr. Barrett[1] — in my way I call’d at Mr. William Pierce’s[2] — Understanding that Mr. Dunlop had gone away clandestinely to Ship for Cape Breton. I visited his wife who was in great Distress for her Husband and two Sons. I din’d at Mr. Barretts. I return’d him his Henry vol. 5.[3] N.B. Major Jones there. In returning I call’d at Mr. Tainters where I view’d a Chaise which he had bought with a View to me, but I conceiv’d it too much worn, yet determin’d nothing.
