August 3, 1756

1756 August 3 (Tuesday).  My Right Hand still swelled and pained, my left Knee and Foot are also so bad that I can very Scarcely take one step; till near Night — when I walked a little.  No Doctor, though he (Dr. Chase) said he’d come yesterday.  I’m much the same.  My Rheumatism is uncorrected to this Day: but I wait the divine Will!  Messrs. Martyn and Stone here, going to Uxbridge on their Woodstock Affair.  Jonas Bradish comes p.m. with a Team and gets in my Rye which Seth Woods and my sons had reaped — Mr. Rolf with him.  N.B. Old Mrs. Whipple and Mr. Jos. Greens Wife, and Mrs. Harrington here the Afternoon.
