1750 October 22 (Monday). A very Cold windy, freezing Day. Mr. Newton came to work, and Jonathan Smith to tend him; but the Mortar was So froze and the Cold so increasing that they were scarce able to stand it. They built up some Defences against the Cold wind yet it was too Cold. It was so broken a Day, they both threw it in, and went home before Night. Mr. William Goddards Sons brought me 600 of Brick and 2 Dozen of Tile.
