October 16, 1764

1764 October 16 (Tuesday).  Messrs. Smith and Williams come from Sandwich.  Dined at Mr. Greens.  Went with those Gentlemen to East Yarmouth.  N.B. had been a great deal concerned about Deacon Tainter; how he would bear the Journey, being old and under so great Infirmities: but behold he was got to Madam Dennis’s, the place of entertainment, before me — and there were also Coll. Brigham and Capt. Ward, from Southborough.  I lodged there: and the provisions and lodgings very good.  N.B. Deacon Tainter was directed to Call at Mr. Adams’s at Roxbury for my Breeches, but none came.  I was obliged to borrow, for my own were become unfit.  Besides Mr. Greens Goodness, who lent me a pair of Velvet, young Mr. Stone lent me a pair of black Leather to wear home.
