July 11, 1752

1752 July 11 (Saturday).  Rak’d Hay at the Island.  Billy finish’d the Hilling there.  P.M. Mr. Aaron Nurse help’d us get in a Load of Hay from the Island.  It was very hot and tedious to me to bear — but I think it my Duty to do what in me lies having so large a Family and so little help.  At Eve rode to Grafton and Mr. Hutchinson[1] came here.

[1]The Reverend Aaron Hutchinson.
