1755 December 17 (Wednesday). Bright and Clear. In the great Storm yesterday Captain Maynards etc. Stables were wholly turn’d over so as to stand upon the Roof. At Eve Lieutenant Tainter here and I had some Talk with him about his having said that he had paid me some considerable Part of the North side Debt. And we had some considerable altercation but parted in Love and Peace. A Frosty Night which we have not had of a great while, nor anything severe.
