February 25, 1780

1780 February 25 (Friday).  Mr. Buckminster and his Brother Col. William call here.  N.B. Mr. B. owns to me that he is the Author of the Letter which is advertised to be printed.  He tells me also that in his Paraphrase on Romans 10.4, p. 13 by “another in his Neighborhood” he means Mr. Mellen of Chauxit, in his large Book, on Justification.  My Daughter in-law receives a young Cow which her Father Brigham gives her.  She is put into my Barn to be kept.
