'One morning in late December...' December 28? or 29?, 1763 [see note for page 304]

The Restless Bee
a block and a half from where they are staying...must been near New Market...
'At Lancaster,-day before yesterday...
this puts the date of this section in question. The Massacre occured on Tuesday December 27, 1763, which would make the date of the page December 29th. However, Dixon says its "odd for Wednesday market" that it would be so quiet. This suggests Wednesday, December 28th as the correct day for this passage.

In fact, when word arriv'd...
this paragraph is a flashback to December 16, 1763.
Page 310
'Tis too cloudy for Obs tonight...
this happened the night of December 29, 1763, supporting the 29th as the date for page 302. "Wednesday Market" is a mistake on Dixon's part.
