June 12, 1769

1769 June 12 (Monday).  Visit the Widow Adams who is ill.  Called to See Garfield who is better.  Called at Neighbour Andrews’s, and brought thence a piece of striped Cloth, wove by Mrs. Beeman.  Hear that my Son Ebenezers valuable Horse dyed Suddenly.  N.B. This morning, as Temple was plowing with my Mare, She was frighted Suddenly and ran away; passed through the adjoining Rye, threw down the Fence, passed over the Rails and went up the Road.  Temple was So hurt in his left Arm, that he broke off from Work, in the forenoon, and went to Mr. Parkers, and to Dr. Flynts to get his Elbow Set; and did not return till late at night.
