1754 July 24 (Wednesday). Thomas work’d part of a.m. for me. P.M. late he went to Ebenezer to hoe for him. Jonathan and Joseph How came to hill for me, the former but a little before noon. N.B. greatly put to’t for plough and for Horse — sent Billy to t’other Place for my own Mare. Thomas Stay’d to Plough which was one of the Reasons of his being late to Ebenezer. Billy works with Difficulty because he is so much poison’d. Mr. Forbush and his Wife and little Daughter leave us to go to Brookfield. Fair Weather, but can do Nothing about my Hay at the Ministerial Meadow — Some of which is in Cock, and some of has lain over the storm in swarth.
