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.
