April 7, 1748

1748 April 7 (Thursday).  Mr. Martyn (whom I expected to visit me today and go with me to the Family Meeting) sent me a line that he could not come.  I preached at Lieutenant Tainter’s on Gen. 17.7, to the end of page 12.  My wife was with me.  After Exercises Captain Baker discoursed with me about our precinct Transactions with me and respecting the 500£ vote in special.  My wife and I visited Neighbour Eliezer Rice’s wife (who is sick) at Evening.
