1752 October 6 (Friday). Another fine Day. I rode to Mr. Jonas Brighams[1] to see his sister Mrs. Deborah who has been ill for some Time. Thence I went to Marlborough. Settled with Mr. Jacob Felton, paying him the Money which I took up of him last Year to pay Mr. Richard Barns for 4 acres of Land which I bought of him, adjoining to my old Place. Din’d at Colonel Williams’s. Was at Mr. Smiths[2] and Dr. Brighams.[3] Return’d at Eve. N.B. Ebenezer return’d last night from Leicester and the lost Cattle are brought home. Lieutenant Tainter brought a Load of Wood and a Barrell of Cyder.
