November 30, 1771

1771 November 30 (Saturday).  Though yesterday was a good Day for travelling, it is far otherwise to Day, and especially in the Morning which was very Stormy; and by the heavy Rain Ebenezer is obliged to tarry here over the Sabbath.  As to Mrs. P________ I gave up expecting her, and set my Mind to prepare to do without her.  It was not indeed so rainy p.m. as in the morning yet it was wet, cloudy and uncomfortable — But, unlooked for, Mr. Parker and she came; and got here before Night, to my great Joy — and in a Peculiar manner considering She was So well and comfortable, and had been favoured with a prosperous Journey.  They had Coll. Buckminsters Chaise from Framingham to Boston, and in returning got as far as Brewsters, Waltham to lodge, and this morn to Coll. Buckminsters to Break fast.  D.G.
