July 22, 1758

1758 July 22 (Saturday).  We Sat out early upon our Journey.  Called at Mr. Joseph Strettons in Waltham; paid his Wife my Interest money.  Broke fast at Mr. Cushings.  Stopped a while at Coll. Buckminsters — but dined at Home.  My Wife has a sore Breast, and it gives her a great deal of Trouble.  Expected one of the Coffins (young Students at Cambridge) would have come up to make us a Visit, but he did not.  N.B. Alexander has been so manly as to hill the Corn in the Orchard.
