November 5, 1777

1777 November 5 (Wednesday).  The two Ensigns, after attending Prayer and Breakfast, left us to go to their Regiments.  Elias, on Brecks Mare, undertakes to go up to Cois Hill to drive down my young Cattle.  My Husbandry Business run sadly behind, by reason of Reubens working, now the fourth Day, for his uncle Paul: and wants to go away to Worcester tomorrow also.
