1776 November 14 (Thursday). Cutter and Betsey left us. N.B. I returned Col. Baldwins Journals by them. Mr. Bradshaw returning home from Boston, calls here. Informs me that our Kinsman Mr. Thomas Bailey has had a Vendue to sell my Brother Williams Goods etc. I walked to Mr. Ebenezer and Samuel Forbushs. N.B. I have received a Letter from Mrs. Eunice Cook of Douglass requesting a Contribution from this Town. P.M. The infamous Thomas Cook came boldly to See me. I gave him what Admonition, Caution and Charge I could. My Wife very much indisposed from Day to Day. Sick at her stomach — sometimes Vomits — took Physic.
