June 21, 1751

1751 June 21 (Friday).  Part of the forenoon assisted Ebenezer in mending Fence in the furthermost Pasture — a large Steer being very unruly.  My wife is grown much lamer ever since we rode to Southborough.  Sarah Sick — no doubt by eating Currans and Cherrys.  P.M. Necessity obliging I rode to Mr. Whipples[1] for Nails, Bradds and Colours, brought up from Boston by his son Thomas.  Carry’d ‘em to the New House — rode to Mr. Twitchells at Eve.  My son Thomas return’d from Sutton Meeting-House-Raising.
