1749 July 26 (Wednesday). Great Rains a.m. When the Rain was over Ebenezer and Thomas went to the Meadow to look after the Hay there. Samuel Bumpso gave half a Days work. P.M. my Wife rode with me to the South part of the Town: to Mr. Harringtons, the Widow Woods’s, to Mr. Daniel Forbush’s, and (which was my Chief Design) to Mr. Millers[1] who was married to the widow Margaret How.[2] At Lieutenant Tainters in returning at Eve, who presented me with a side of Lamb against tomorrow. Got home safely though somewhat Dark. Three of Mr. Barns’s Cattle very troublesome one Night after another and now get into the Corn.
