June 28, 1748

1748 June 28 (Tuesday).  Visited Neighbour Jonathan Rogers.  Mr. Jason Whitney here and desires me to write to Colonel Ward about recalling Joseph Bowker; and I comply’d with it, and Sent it by him.  A very great Dew and some distant Thunder last night, and Somewhat Cloudy this morning also, yet it clears off and is hot and Dry.  P.M. after Some Time of distant Thunder, there came up a great Storm here, and we had several very hard Claps of thunder accompany’d with sharp Lightning and Some very refreshing Showers of Rain.  Blessed be God!  Towards Eve Captain Warrin was here to discourse with me.  Our subject was those disagreeable Contradictions we had at the precinct meeting May 30th last.
