1776 September 30 (Monday). Mr. Stone came home in the Chaise in which my son Elias rides. He takes me in (it is Mr. Barnabas Newtons Chaise and Squire Bakers Horse) and we go to Newtown. Called at Coll. Buckminsters, and refreshed. Dined at Deacon Browns. Called again at Mr. Woodwards (where I saw Mr. Roberts and his Sister How). Went over the Bridge at Waltham. Called at Mrs. Hastings’s — but she was not at home, and her Son Aaron was at College: I proceeded to Mrs. Gibbs’s, She having often Sent me her Request, and we very agreeably lodged there. N.B. Mr. Eddy there, having lived there these Seven Years. Thus closes this Month — “So teach us, Lord: th’uncertain sum of our short Days to mind etc.”
