1749 October 24 (Tuesday). Another very rainy Day, which prevents my going to the Association Fast at Harvard, and am afraid it will many others. However, I desire to have my heart with them. Did somewhat that way in the forepart of the Day, but was afterwards variously interrupted. John Rutherford here to make a Letter-Garter-Loom. P.M. divers others here. Yet may God of his infinite Mercy pardon my great Defects! and accept of those who this Day call upon his Name! for I would hold Communion with them.
