October 18, 1764

1764 October 18 (Thursday).  Squire Stone having invited me to his House, we rode to Harwich, and dined with him — a very handsome and elegant Entertainment.  Messrs. Stone and Smith with us, but Mr. Williams dined at Mr. Dunstars.  P.M. leaving Brother Stone at his Brothers, we rode to Eastham; and I went to the Bridge at Nossett, where the waters of the West and East Seas sometimes meet.  We went to Mr. Joseph Crockers, and lodged there.  N.B. Their Country is very sandy and few Streams.  Wind mills are therefore the more frequent.  N.B. At Harwich Mr. David Bangs raises Wicker-Trees — the Stump of one, Set but 8 Years Since, measured about 19 Inch diameter, and was 50 feet high, when it was cut down.  The Same Mr. Bangs had 51 Bushels of good Wheat from an Acre and Quarter of Ground.
