1750 October 12 (Friday). Sent Billy on the Mare to Worcester with a Letter to Brother Samuel Breck about his Servant Girl but without Effect, he not accepting my offer for her. Ebenezer rode over to Mr. Pierce but to no purpose. Jonathan Smith work’d here getting in Corn. Towards Evening came home my Son Thomas from Mr. Goold of Concord, with a Letter from Mr. Minot.[1] I thank God my son has been carry’d out, through the Agreement and that no Evil has fallen upon us to Grieve us. Three Sons and Two Daughters, with Patty Pannell husk Corn in the Barn this Eve, and Except Molly, they Stay till Eleven o’Clock.
[1]Timothy Minot (Harvard 1747), a schoolmaster and later a physician of Concord. Sibley, XII, 194-195.
