April 29, 1747

1747 April 29 (Wednesday).  Ebenezer went with my Team to Ensign Rice’s, and got some more Hay about 8 or 10 Hundred.  Mr. Townsend[1] brought a Letter from Mr. Martyn requesting me to preach his Lecture tomorrow — but I have appointed a Catechizing of children, which prevents.  Mr. Ebenezer Garfield[2] had my mare to go to Shrewsbury.  Neighbour Jonas Brigham and his wife here to be Examin’d etc.  Could do but a little for ‘em because they came so near night.  N.B. Mrs. Hannah Warrin (wife of Daniel) of Shrewsbury here.
