1736 January 27 (Tuesday). The Doctor went home. My Wife a pritty comfortable Day. Hopes bloom that she will recover, by Divine Favour. Mr. Cushing[1] visited us and prayed with us. Jemima Lee watched with my wife, and Deborah with the Child in the Cradle. Mrs. Parkman slept very sound and Seemingly very Comfortable — the Child also but a little Trouble, and I hope in a good way of Recovery.
[1]Job Cushing (1694-1760), Harvard 1714, minister of Shrewsbury, 1723-1760. SHG 6:45-46.
