1771 April 16 (Tuesday). No Ben. Wood to Work though he had So far promised as that after I had answered his Objections he answered me that he thought he must, and when, at parting I asked him whether I might depend upon him to come, and he replyed as yielding and complying. Mrs. Dolly Rice here. I visit Mr. Morse’s sick Child — and prayed there. N.B. Alexander came to us about an hour after Midnight — went to Framingham and returned p.m. He left us towards night to go to Leicester. Spake to [blank] Reed, who seems inclined to work for me, or find me a young man that may. At Eve Breck and Elijah Brigham — he lodges here. Reed was to come here at Evening but he came not.
