1749 September 2 (Saturday). Ebenezer and Thomas went to Mr. Abner Newtons to fetch a Load of Clay for an Oven. Benjamin Tainter came up from Cambridge with my Chair and brought a Letter from Forbush that he got down well with Mrs. Grice but without sister Lydia Champney[1] whom I now hop’d for; and it was a great Disappointment that she did not come. He brought me from I know not who a Considerable Box of Pipes. N.B. Neighbour Hezekiah How here in much Frett about the Meeting House.
