November 6, 1760

1760 November 6 (Thursday).  Cousen Maynard dined here with us.  P.M. Mr. Ol. Carter from Leominster.  He has agreed with Mr. Fessenden for 3 Days preaching; and wants me to go one of them to administer the Sacrament but I refuse.  Dr. Wilson of Hopkinton visits me.  But I was forced to leave him to go to the Catechetical Exercise to Young Women.  30 attended.  Preached to them from Rom. 5.12, from page 9th to p. 16.  N.B. Rhoda, Sarah and Hezekiah, Children of Ensign Jeduthun Fay, came here after Catechizing and want to be baptized.  I kindly treated, and instructed them.  N.B. Moses Wheelock comes to the shop.
