abstract of Put SttWts.
Monday, July 22nd- 1751. Peter and ye Negro's fin- IyrI
ished mowing raked and stacked some Hay. wv—-
[July 23 rd*] Tuesday. Peter and ye Negro's finished
stacking ye Hay in ye Forenoon.
Wednesday, July 24th* 1751. My two Negro's plowing
in ye Buckwheat as Manure for English wheat.
I had an ugly Dream304 last night. ... I told her
of it, but will not set it down least these Pages fall
into bad Hands. . . . Lord lengthen out our Tranquillity.
Thursday, July 25th* 1751. I have slept (blessed be
God) without much Distress and dreamed but a
litle to ye Purpose of my last night's Dream; but
was assisted to drive from my Mind the Dream yr a
litle disturbed me. I believe y* reading the Life of
Cleaveland305 nat1 Son to Cromwel gave me all yse
Distresses. The whole is certainly a Fiction, yre never
having been such a man, nor such occurrences as it
relates. I believe it is wrote to blacken ye Stuart
Family,306 to raise men's Esteem of ye Revolution
wch seems now to be sinking; But Romance can't,
ought not to discredit Realitys. Blud could not be
G . . . a Frenchman, since he was an Irishman.
Harry28 and Hannibal302 are plowing down ye Buckwheat—let me, o God, w^ some tolerable Degree of
Pleasure, if it be yy will wait till my change comes.
Make me more humble, useful and cheerful and not
so much as heretofore vallue Esteem and Applause
from man; but behave so as to get and secure thy
Approbation and an absolving Sentence from mine
own Heart.
Bless my wife and servants with yc needfullest and
best Blessings.
