1773 April 7 (Wednesday). Very much taken up with our gardening. Breck has Sent to Boston for an Assortment of Seeds for his Shop – supplys me with several Sorts, and assists in the work we are engaged in. John Fay’s Time was out last night, but he works for me to Day, and spends his Time and Pains in the Garden. At Night I paid him as he expects from my promise £25 old Tenor.
