As R. W. is very
feverish, tho' somewhat better, he declines attending Shrewsbury meeting. We
set out in his waggon with his Son Nicholas, and his negro Peter as a driver,
about 9 o'clock. Reached Monmouth Court House, at least 20 miles, about one
o'clock. We dined there at ye lower Tavern, and then proceeded on our way. Took
ye wrong, but best road to ye Falls mill, and went directly down to John
Hartshorn's at Black Point, about dark.
