1761 April 17 (Friday). Deacon Bond with a Yoke of Oxen plows and Sows for me peas, wheat etc. N.B. Mr. Jonathan Pierce here with his Account against my late son Thomas: which I settle, giving him a Note for 13/9.2 Lawfull money. And as to the Saddle Trees yet in the Shop, he is to take ‘em and make what he can of them. And I must make him what Allowance may be just and reasonable. P.M. My wife and I dine at Capt. Woods (at his repeated Desire) but after Dinner I return to my Study.
