1748 March 19 (Saturday). As I returned home I called at Mr. Dix’s[1] (who married Sarah Bond) and was well entertained with smelts and he bountifully sent up several dozen to my wife. Was at Mrs. Beckky Walkers and I dined at Mr. Paterson’s[2] at Sudbury. Called also at Mr. Darling’s.[3] Very heavy riding and breaking through the deep snow from Marlborough home but arrived well and found my house in health and peace. Blest be God!
