1776 August 3 (Saturday). Went in the Morning to Mr. Thaddeus Warrins and Mr. Nathan Maynard junior and obtain of them to undertake to get my Interval Hay, this Year — to begin next Monday Morn. Mr. John Chamberlain reaps in the west Field. Old Mr. Morse is also hoing in the North. They, both, finish their work and go home. P.M. I attend the Funeral of Mr. Richard Temple, who was buryed from Mr. Barnabas Newtons. His Three Brothers, Josiah, Jonathan and Ebenezer, and two Sisters, Sarah and Phebe, were there; but Miss Persis Baker of Bolton appears to be chief Mourner.
