1751 January 2 (Wednesday). Cold, raw Day. The Earth open still and good Clearing. Ebenezer and Thomas improve it. I was much employ’d with Ramsays Cyrus and (except yesterday) for Several Days. It shews a Strong, bright Genius, and is writ with much Elegance. Old Mr. Maynard came to invite me, and my wife also to his House at Even, his Son Nathan having brought home his Bride. We went and Supp’d with them.
