Fierce frost.  On this day at 8 o’the clock in the evening Captain Lindsey’s hands were frozen, as he & Mr Powlett were returning from Captain Dumeresque’s to Rotherfield.  The Gent. suffered great pain all night, & found his nails turned black in the morning.  When he got to Rotherfield, he bathed his hands in cold water.  Snow on the ground six inches deep at an average.
