1746 November 13 (Thursday). A.M. I rode to Deacon Newtons. Visited old Mrs. Tabitha Fay. P.M. proceeded to Mr. Francis Whipples whose Family (a Number of them) is sick. Thence I went to Mr. James Maynards and to Ensign Rice’s. N.B. Mrs. Rice’s inveighing against Mr. Martyn; against his prayers at Ensign Newtons Funeral. She is greatly displeas’d with me for assisting in his Ordination. I rode up to Colonel Ward,[1] who was too generous to ask anything for his Chair to Boston. Was also at Dr. Smiths[2] as I return’d.
