1751 November 5 (Tuesday). Sent Mr. Jonas Twitchell to Worcester for Bricks. A very fine Day. Ebenezer makes Cyder. Sam. Bumpso has been thrashing wheat and Rye for Ebenezer for some Time. N.B. Deacon Kimball came, and with his son lath’d and plaister’d my East lower Room: Part of the afternoon Robert Claffland waited on the Masons, and did divers Chores. At Eve Alpheus Newton tended the Masons with Mortar, to plaister the East Room, and North Closet in the Chamber.
