November 16, 1771

1771 November 16 (Saturday).  My Grandson Ebenezer came up from Cambridge to tarry over the Sabbath.  Am interrupted in my Studys and called to go down to Mr. Adonijah Rice’s, one of his new-born Twins being ill.  I went, and prayed — the woman but weak also.  Capt. Clark and his Daughter Cotton from Hopkinton came to keep Sabbath here, there being no Body to preach in their Town.
