1752 December 4 (Monday). Mr. John Martyn[1] bore me a Message from his Father desiring me to preach his Lecture next Wednesday. The Town Met to Day at the North Meeting House, to consider and provide Money to pay Town-Debts. N.B. We this Day gave out the Last of the Corn in the Corn-Barn (which was the Island Corn) Nor is there any left of all the Indian Corn that I rais’d here, excepted a few Ears in the Garrett which were trac’d up. Billy gets out Corn for our Eating, at t’other House. At Evening Snows — in the Night the storm prevails, and by Morning the Snow is pritty deep. But God protects and guards Supplys and comforts us.
[1]The son of John Martyn, the minister of the north precinct.
