Patrick Preece sent this over to post for him.(Thanks Pat) It's an interesting piece from a diary. It's always neat to see things referencing baseball back in the 1700's. Here is the intro to it:

"William Bray was 18 years old when he wrote in his diary. Hs diary was found in a barn in a small town in England not too long ago. The original is in the small town's historical society museum. Attached is a typed copy of his entries with the baseball reference on Monday March 31, 1755."
