1746 December 30 (Tuesday). Dr. Breck here and din’d as he did Yesterday also whilst I was gone from home. Deacon Forbush, Mr. Moses Pratt of Shrewsbury and Mr. Samuel Warrin of Grafton here, and wants a petition to be drawn to be presented to the General Court for their Compassion towards their Captive children and Friends. At Eve (though it snow’d) I was at Captain Maynards. N.B. His Wife putts me in mind of my not having visited Mr. Abner Newton since the death of his Father, Mother and little Child: which I was a little surpriz’d at, but told Mrs. Maynard ‘twas Neglected with no Particular Design, but I would endeavour soon to make them a Visit.
