April 1, 1745

1745 April 1 (Monday).  The School moves over to Lieutenant Holloways.  Trouble in my neighbourhood respecting Sheep hurt by Doggs.  As Ewe and Lamb of mine in all likelihood kill’d.  Had we purpos’d to go to Cambridge but the Weather So Stormy in the Morning (Rain and Snow) that I was prevented.  N.B. Mr. Jenison seems to be in some Frett on account of his missing the Employment of preaching on the North Side.  Towards Night Thomas Winchester came, went to Work about the Fences and thereby began another half year with me, for the same Wages as last.  N.B. Mr. Thomas Billings here.
