To Col Cor[y's?] where I drank tea with
Mr Temple and a large round of ladies,
and gentlemen. Mr. Hudson, a member
of Congress ws there, who gave me an
invitation to go to a [parish?] in South
Carolina. He said my expenses there would
be delayed; that the living[?] would be a plantation with 29 negroes & might be estimated at about 2000L
this currency. I took it under consideration
and was to give an answer at General Hancock’s the next Thursday.
Monday.
Mr Hall began to send his furniture to
[Cosco?] Bay, where he meant to retire
and marry as soon as possible.
Tuesday.
Dined with a Corporation. Th. Left of
Dr Eliot ws severely full and affectionately
mentioned. But I heard no
new member [tathed?] of. The corporation
made each of the Tutors a grant of 200 L & 1 other governor
in proportion.
Wednesday.
I have so happily removed the use of
my eye as to say aside my glases[?].
