June 5, 1769

1769 June 5 (Monday).  They take leave.  N.B. My Wife informs me that last week (viz. on the 30 ult.) Mr. Hall of Sutton dined here, that Mr. Cushing came at Night, that he brought a Letter from William informing that his wife was delivered of a son on the 27th of May; and both mother and Child are well.  Blessed be God!  That Mr. Cushing dined here June 1 and p.m. went away.  I visit poor Garfield, from whom one Testicle has been extracted by Dr. Ball.  He is more humble and penitent, and asks me to pray with him.  Which I complyed with.  And am greatly rejoiced at any Signs of his Penitence.  I have much Trouble in my mind for my Son John that he is not Apprenticed, but cannot tell where to put him.  John has his Finger jammed between the Stones in making Wall.
