--I agreed to it, & the next thing was to procure a chair. We went to several places and at last got one in Maiden-Lane.—We arriv’d at Harlem about 1, somewhat chilled.—After we had eat some bread & cheese and my companion had put a clock in order—we drove home-wards, whiter we reach’d at half-past 3. I engrav’d a little.—In the evening, I was preparing to collect some remarks for G. Baker, when Mr. McIntosh came in and we must have some Scotch tunes.—After his departure I wrote a letter to Dr. Davidson and something for Mr. Baker.
  10th. In the evening I went to Mr. Bates’s, and was surprised to find poor Frederick with his head shav’d and behaving in a very extravagant manner.—He appear’d glad to see me and show’d me the musical clock.—The leading Idea in his mind is that he is the Almighty again appearing in the flesh, and the reading of Richard Brothers’s Prophecy has been the cause of this paroxysm.—He swears most horridly, and curs’d his father in the most dreadful terms.—He gave me a blister plaster which I applied to his head.—I sent for my Violin to amuse him; my Brother soon appear’d with one and A. Tiebout with another.—The effect of the music not being so beneficial as I expected we left them between 8 & 9 O’clock.

   15th. Evening. Having procur’d tickets of Mr. Baker, A. Tiebout, my Brother and myself went to Mrs. Youles and from thence accompanied her, Miss Youle and Miss Davis to the Museum—Miss Youle was my companion. After strolling about and feasting our eyes & ears we went to my Father’s, here our company sat ‘till near 10 when we attended them home.--
