1752 November 1 (Wednesday). A fine Day. I rode abroad though my Arm is upon many Occasions thrown into great Pain. Was at Esquire Baker’s; visit Mrs. Harrington and din’d there — at Deacon Forbush’s, Elijah Rice’s — visit Mr. Pierce’s Family — his Wife and son Seth sick — the latter very bad. Mr. Pierce was my Company home, and I had some free conversation with him. N.B. Lieutenant Tainter brought me a Load of Wood. Mr. Moses Warrin another.
