June 1, 1768

1768 June 1 (Wednesday).  Billy (having bought him an Horse and which he rode upon here) carrys upon him the Tire which Beeton has made; with Sufficient Nails to fasten it on with.  He also drives my Oxen before him, to Ashby.  I have lately borrowed of Mr. Gibbs the Painter at Boston, The secrets of the invisible World disclosed, by Andrew Moreton Esq. which I am reading.  Alexander returns from Boston with Mr. Grouts Horse.  He found him at Chelsey; Samuel when he went for him, took a wrong Horse.  I rejoice Alexander has Succeeded.  D.G.
