1770 May 17 (Thursday). Lt. Ward and Mr. Hezekiah Taylor here with a Letter Missive for a Council at Grafton — but the Time appointed for it, being the Very Day when our Association is (God willing) to meet at our House, I must be excused. Mr. Samuel Chase brought me from Mr. Ephraim Shearman three Quarto Pamphlets by Mr. Bollan, viz. Continued Corruption etc. (which I have already read), Free Britons Memorial; and his Supplemental Memorial. Mr. William Campbell of Oxford, who comes from Boston, informs me of Mr. William Fairfields (his Uncle) Death. Dr. Crosby here and brings his Transcript of Sarah Greens Case — which he Signs — and which Squire Whipple and I are to Sign. Sell more Hay to Nathan Kenny.
