Mr. Ebenezer Chamberlin and a number of Youth and Lads, his own and Neighbours to hoe my Corn, and finished it. May God reward ‘em for this most seasonable Kindness! I rode to Blanc’s and Deacon Tainters. N.B. at Eve Deacon Tainter and Capt. Wood here, about Abner Newtons Marriage — which I can’t attend tomorrow because of the Council. N.B.
