About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE DIARY OF JOHN HOWE, A BOSTON MERCHANT. The Diary of John Rowe, a Boston merchant, includes the period from Sept. 8,1764, to July 15,1779, with three breaks in it, ? one from Aug. 17, 1765, to April 10, 1766, another from June 1, 1775, to December 24 of the same year, and the third from Nov. 19,1776, to Aug. 12, 1778. The missing volume which makes the second break was, according to his memorandum in the next volume, mislaid or taken out of his store; the other two breaks are supposed to have occurred since his death.

Mr. Nicholl's school at Salem, and later (that school being broken up soon after the battle of Lexington) removed to the school of Rev. Phillips Payson at Chelsea.1 The owner of the Diary, Mrs. Payson, and her only descendant, Mrs. Anne Rowe Cunningham, live on the Milton estate of Governor Jonathan i Belcher, which passed from the Belchers to John Rowe, the Bosston merchant. Here the Governor had lived in what he 'described in his letters as his cave, wigwam, little cottage, and lowly cottage. This was burned in 1776, and the present house was built shortly after.8 1 This John Rowe was born in Quebec, July 26,1765; was a graduate of Her- vard College in 1783, being a classmate of Harrison Gray Otis and William Prescott; married in Gloucester, April...
