October 20, 1777

1777 October 20 (Monday).  Mr. Haven of Framingham here to enquire concerning his son David’s Death, in Battle; concerning which Breck had writ to me.  I wrote to Breck, and Send it by the Hand of Alexander: to the Post for Conveyance — for Alexander returns to Leicester, his little Boy being better, as we hoped.  N.B. The wonderful News of Success against the Kings Forces in the N.W.
