1765 March 28 (Thursday). John went to Mr. Allens and bought another large Fowl 10/. I went on the Snow to t’other House, viewed the great Pine Tree. Mr. Beeton urges me to go to Capt. Maynards that the Captain may Satisfy me for the Tree. I went with him but the Captain is gone a Journey. Mr. Beeton promises in Mrs. Maynards hearing that if I will let the Tree alone he will assure me two hundred of good Floor Boards — or the Tree and he will be at the Charge of the Team to get it to Mill. N.B. I told Mr. Beeton in the hearing of Richard Barns junior that I had not sold to Capt. Maynard nor to any man, a passage way through that place to the ministerial Lot (that is, during my Life). Reckoned with Mr. Beeton and paid him 3.14.0 Old Tenor in full. Lent my Mare to Mr. Richard Barns, to go to Marlborough.
