1777 September 2 (Tuesday). Hannah has coughed so much last night, she has had almost no sleep. Breck has word from Col. Cushing that he is appointed over a Regiment which has already an adjutant so that he need not go. P.M. I went up to Mr. Newton’s to bespeak his Chaise, and acquaint him with the Dammage done to my Field by his Hoggs. Was also at Deacon Woods. My sons Breck and Samuel with their Wives, taking their Sister Hannah with them ride to Col. Brighams.
