1751 February 7 (Thursday). Mr. Haven bought of me Dr. Atterburys Two Volumes of Sermons.[1] He leaves us to go to Brookfield, North part of it, to preach on probation there. Mr. David Baldwin of Leicester sold me 1000 of White Pine Boards for £15.10/ Old Tenor for which I paid him 10£ old Tenor. As I Sat at Captain Maynards came in the Reverend Mr. Price from Court — tells me they gave him the Case yesterday, as he was sure all men of any Reason and Justice would. Captain Maynard urg’d me much to dine there but I return’d home. P.M. nigh Evening I visited Mrs. Pratt. When I came home had Mr. Jonathan Bond with me. N.B. Ebenezer and Thomas carried Loggs to the Saw Mill, and Boards to the New House.
