1752 July 29 (Wednesday). Exceedingly poorly — Know not how to go to my intended Journey. Sister Hicks and her Daughter dine here. N.B. Mr. Parsons[1] of Newbury calls at the Door when we are at Dinner but he will not come in. About 4 p.m. my Daughter and I undertook a Journey in Lieutenant Tainters Chaise.
[1]The Reverend Moses Parsons of Newbury (Byfield Parish), 1744-1783.
