March 24, 1746

1746 March 24 (Monday).  When Thomas Winchester was lately with me we agreed upon Thursday next to break up the Ground, round about the Settle, and have bespoke plough and Cattle, 4 Yoke accordingly but forgetting this appointment yesterday, I appointed the Same Day to be Lecture to Young Men.  So perplexing is it to have the Affairs of the Ministry and of a Farm to manage together. I was oblig’d to be up early this morning and go to Mr. Winchesters to Speak with Thomas who was going over to Upton for Several Days and thought my Appointment might be altered. And I had propos’d to visit his Mother this Morning, She still lying Sick.  Thence I went to Mr. Harrington about Rails: and I receiv’d their Testimony about what Robert Bradish said at their House February 11. Visited Mr. Miller who is sick. Dr. Gott return’d part of the way with me.
