March 1, 1773

1773 March 1 (Monday).  I am affected with the Consideration of the Flight of Time: that we have been carryed through another Winter, is also matter of praise to our gracious God.  To His Name therefore be the Glory of our preservation!  And may the End hereof be diligently attended to!  Town-Meeting.  Two Men, Messrs. Gale, and Jonathan Grout, came to Me from the Town to desire me to go to the Meeting House and pray with them.  I complyed — went and prayed.  N.B. The Town Clerk, Mr. Moses Wheelock, is Sick.  Memor[andum?].  I asked publicly to be gratifyed with the pamphlet which the antient and respectable Town of Boston had sent hither, for I have neither seen it nor can find where it is.  I would Seek the Peace and Welfare of this place, of this Province, and of the British Realm, on which we are dependent.  But I could not hear of Said Pamphlet.
