1758 June 9 (Friday). More than ordinary Cold. Mr. Maccarty and his Brother Bridge of Worcester here in returning home from Boston by Hopkinton. P.M. Dr. Willson also here. Great and Sad Interruptions to me in my Studys. But especially by my Sore disappointments in getting my Corn hoed: Brother Zebulon Rice who had so engaged Adam to me that I relyed upon him, but now has undertaken other Business.
