March 3, 1775

1775 March 3 (Friday).  Mr. Charles Lawrence of Ashby came.  Dined here.  He paid me £100 old tenor and gave me a note of Hand for twenty two pounds ten shillings old tenor more, to be paid in a month.  Upon which I gave him a Deed of my 35 Acre Lot (or the 37 Acres and 80 Poles) in Ashby: and went with him to Squire Whipples, before whom I acknowledged it.  Squire Whipple informs me that Mr. Forbes is dismissed from Brookfield.  N.B. I delivered the money immediately to Breck to be sent to Samuel.
