1751 February 15 (Friday).  Snow.  Old Mr. Maynard and old Mr. Whipple here.  By Mr. Whipples Discourse I perceive there are new Disgusts with Lieutenant Tainter — that he doth not take Steps towards Mr. James Maynards Rates being Sunk by the Precinct: there being a Warrant up for a Meeting and nothing of Mr. Maynards Affair in it; nor to Consult the Precinct about it.
