June 16, 1768

1768 June 16 (Thursday).  The proposal had been that Lucy Should go to Nantucket for the recovery of her Health; that Mr. Roger Bruce should go to take Care of her, but Mr. Baldwin goes himself.  They have Dr. Hawes’s Chaise.  I wrote by them to Caleb Bunker Esq.  P.M. Visit old Mr. How who is very ill.  Prayed with him.  Called at Mr. Ebenezer Maynards.  Go with him to see the Bounds of the Swamp and Meadow which he wants to sell me.  His Brother David with us.  I am much discouraged when I see how poor the Grass of Some Parts of it are.  But I venture to buy it of him for £600 O.T. as he has offered it.
