March 21, 1758

1758 March 21 (Tuesday).  In great Expectation of Mr. Martyn and his Wife to See us, having Sent to them by Nathaniel Rugg; who assured me he would do the Message.  I not only stayed at home for this purpose, but provided an handsome Dinner — but they did not come — nor has either of them been here since my Wife’s lying in.  Mr. Asaph Rice Supped with me.  N.B. One Simon Millen here Yesterday and wants to hire my old place.  Lt. Maynard and Eliezer Rice go to Boston about Commissions.  The Latter here for my place.
