1768 June 27 (Monday). Went over to Mr. Ebenezer Maynard and with him to Capt. Maynards. I gave Mr. Maynard my Note for what remains further of the price of the Swamp, viz. For £13.6.8 to be paid Dec. [25?] next; and for £53.6.8 (both sums Lawfull Money) upon Demand and Capt. Maynard promised to See to the fulfillment. Upon which he gave me a Deed of the Land. Capt. Maynard relates Somewhat of the Transactions and proceedings of the General Court last week, and that now the important Affair of our Privileges is [depending?]. For by Letters from England the Court are required to rescind what the last House did with regard to the other Colonies, and in Case they refuse, to dissolve the House. The Day is dark, but the Heavens do rule. P.M. 5 o’Clock Alexander and Suse Set out for Ashby and have Hannah with them. They design to reach Lancaster this Eve.
