July 10, 1770

1770 July 10 (Tuesday).  Rode to Southborough to Miss Bulah Bent — who gave free leave to me, to cut the Bent Meadow, as I used to, notwithstanding any thing that had been said to Jonas Kenny.  And dined at Mr. Stone’s.  P.M. we rode to Hopkinton.  Called to see Dr. Wilson.  Visit Capt. Clark to Sympathize for the Loss of dear Mrs. Green.  N.B. She had left for me Vol. 5, 6, 7, 8 of the World displayed, for me to read — and her mother delivered them to me.  After mutual Condoling, we parted affectionately.  Mr. Stone and I proceeded to Mr. Barretts — to visit them under their Infirmitys.  Left Mr. Stone and proceeded (as one part of my Design was) to visit Mr. Abby who has for some time languished.  He is, I hear, [hectick?]: is about to undertake a Journey to Providence for his Health.  Dr. Hawes, his Wife and Child are on their Journey home.
