Wrote this morning to my Son John—
My brother called at 8
O’Clock, and we went to the Woodlots upon which the wood is to be sold,
standing; called the Field, Joy and Savil lots— I took the plans with
me; but even with them obtained very imperfectly the idea of their
bounds. The rail-way crosses them all three— I found at the ground
Deacon Spear with his brother
William, and two other men;
who were staking off the lots for Sale— Mr James Hall went round with
us, and knowing all the bounds, pointed them out— Some of them have been
removed by the workmen upon the Rail-way— We entered at Mr Hall’s gate, and proceeded to the Field
lot, through his Land upon which it borders— We met Deacon Adams upon the ground Hall
conducted us to several of the corner bounds; which are remarkable for
being upon large and high Rocks— We went to the Railway tower
immediately South of which part of my Land extends— S. Farrar; by my direction took up
five Roots of wild Strawberry vines, which I found there growing out of
the Rocks; and which immediately on returning home I had set out at the
Northwest corner of my Garden— I fear too late in the Season— I found at
home Mrs
Dexter and her daughter Mrs M’Kay, visiting
Mrs Adams— My brother dined with us— I
endeavoured to read and to and to write after dinner, but was
overpowered by weariness, and obliged to desist. I began this morning to
read the Preface of Ernesti to
his Clavis, but could not finish it.
