1759 September 6 (Thursday). Rode as far as Mr. William Pierce’s. Was at Mr. Biglows with design to talk with her again — but she was not at home, nor her Husband. Agreed with Mr. Adams for 200 of his Boards. Visit at Mr. Jonah Warrins. N.B. Bears are rife. We Dined upon a very fine Piece brought me last Night by Neighbour Jonathan Grout. Mr. Abner Tyler of Brookfield here and tells me he understood Mr. Rice of Sturbridge was (according to the appointment) buryed on Tuesday.
