1751 November 7 (Thursday). Thanksgiving. After a very rainy Night, a Very Rainy Morning. Lieutenant Tainter brought a Loin of Mutton. We somewhat expected Mrs. Nanny Gott but she did not come. The sermon to Day on Ps. 4.7. May God accept our Sacred Offerings and grant us true Gladness in our Hearts from the sense of his Special Favour and the Light of His Countenance upon us! My Children all here together with us. Blessed be God for Family Mercys and for the Measure of Health particularly we enjoy! (although Alexander is somewhat Rheumatic.)
