1759 March 24 (Saturday). My Son Baldwin having told me that he had received the Wages of his other Prentice’s, and that he expected Billys — withall Shewing me his Orders from Billy to receive them of Capt. Maynard, I delivered him every farthing of what I received of the Captains Wife on the 22d. This I have done for the Sake of Peace and to induce my Son Baldwin to carry it well to Billy — yet am not satisfyed with the Justice of the Demand.
P.M. Mrs. P_______ went up to Capt. Allens at Shrewsbury and returned at Evening in Safety. She went chiefly to buy a Lining for my old Gown.
