1725 November 12 (Friday). Brother Champney[1] and Sister Lydia accompanied Mrs. Dorcas and Me to Westborough; and we got home in good Season. I was forc’d to ply myself to finish my Preparation for Sabbath, which besides what I could do at Boston must needs be Thought to take up the whole Thirteenth Day of the Month.
