1769 June 2 (Friday). Variously engaged, chiefly in Visits among my Friends and Relations. N.B. Cousen Briant comes to See me. My Son Forbes has bought Brother Samuels Clock, and is putting it up, for Brookfield. Took leave about noon and rode to Cambridge, to receive Cousen Thomas Barretts Answer concerning his taking my Son John. It is Negative. Went up to Bradshaw’s Chamber, and easily found him. At Watertown paid Mr. Bemis, the Joyner, in full. Arrived at Mr. William Browns in Framingham and lodged there. N.B. My Son Alexander and his Wife were gone out.
