http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207178684

Moses Bond Wheelock's diary, 1788-1789, contains very general references to his being a teacher, to his mundane daily life, and a few general items on the treatment of those who were ill. It does contain detailed references to the daily weather. There are also many references to Eli Whitney (1765-1825), his friend in Westborough and the inventor of the cotton gin. There is also one reference to the purchase of books at the bookstore of Isaiah Thomas (1749-1831) in Worcester, Mass.
