1773 March 30 (Tuesday). Mr. Batheric and John are framing. Jonathan Maynard here, confirms the agreement to work for me for 8 months etc. He dines here, as does Mr. Batheric, and Mr. Collins Moore, who calls here in his way to Boston. Afterwards came my Kinsman Bradshaw, and though late dined here. Then came Master Taylor and one Mr. Emmerson, an Housewright. Neither had they dined till now, but Dinner was got for them. At Eve came Master Waters from Sutton and lodges here. Also my Kinsman John Bradshaw came from Stoughtonham, hoping there might be room for him to live with me and labour for me, but he is too late.
