1756 January 7 (Wednesday). Another fine Day; but can’t get any body to work on my Kitchin. N.B. John Maynard, Capt. Maynards Grandson, came with a present of Beef and Sewet; but he especially brought from his Grandmother 2 and 1/2 Yards of black, home-made Cloth, to make me a Jacket: it is of fine Wool, and is well wrought — a worthy Token of her Goodness! May God return it in Spiritual Blessings in heavenly Things in Christ Jesus! I casually Struck my Leg against the rough End of a Board, which wounded me much. I sat up very Late at my writing, till 3 Neighbours came from market; and went to bed about 2 o’Clock.
