1751 April 10 (Wednesday). Masons go to work, but were beat off again Several Times before noon. I carry’d them their Dinner. Ebenezer and Thomas tended them again to Day. P.M. they broke off about 4 or between 4 and 5 o’Clock (I suppose) it raining very hard — and they went away both of them to Shrewsbury. I rode with Mr. Holbrook of Grafton to Mr. Amsdens — and discours’d with each of the Gales and their wifes concerning their making a profession of Religion. N.B. Sent a Letter by Mr. Holbrook to Mr. John Avery at Boston, Merchant respecting my Young Horse.
