1755 December 2 (Tuesday). Lieutenant Tainter here and din’d with us. He is so good as to come and see whether we had any service to be done at Boston, as his Custom has been, but I would not at this time trouble him with anything. I am heartily thankfull to God for the affectionate Kindness of this Good Man, who whether he is at home or goes abroad he is ever caring for us. This is to be noted before Thanksgiving.
