1773 March 31 (Wednesday). My Kinsman tarrys with us. I rode to Shrewsbury: dined at Mr. Sumners. Rev. Messrs. Morse, Goss, and Davis dined there also. I preached the Lecture — on 2 Cor. 4.1-4. Mr. Sumner Stayed the Church by reason of a Letter from Bolton disaffected Members — but post-poned the affair for two months. N.B. had but a little Discourse with poor Mr. Davis. Mr. Goss and two of his Brethren, viz. Benjamin Bailey and Joshua Johnson go to Worcester. I returned home. Found my Son Cushing here who had waited on his Mother from Ashburnham. N.B. Old Mrs. Kelly much indisposed.
