Leaves from Margaret Smith's journal in the province of Massachusetts Bay, 1678-9 | ||
April ye 24th.
A vessel from London has just come to Port, bringing
Rebecca's dresses for the Wedding, which will take
place about the middle of June, as I hear. Uncle
Rawson has brought me a long letter from Aunt Grindall,
with one also from Oliver, pleasant and livelie, like
himself. No special news from Abroad, that I hear
of. My heart longs for Old England more and more.
It is supposed that the free-holders have chosen Mr.
Broadstreet for their Governor. The vote, Uncle says,
is exceeding small, verie few people troubling themselves
about it.
