June 15, 1773

1773 June 15 (Tuesday).  I rode to Ministers Meeting at Bolton by the Way of Marlborough.  Had Mr. Smith’s and Mr. Morse’s Company.  There were present Messrs. Stone of Southborough, Harrington, Mellen, Maccarty, Bridge of Sudbury, and Whitney of Northborough.  Nine of us besides Mr. Goss.  Being Moderator I prayed and Mr. Goss being Still under So great Difficultys, we advise him and his Brethren to call a Council to meet at the Same time that the aggrieved Council are to meet.  I was writ down for one to be Sent to, but I struck out my name.  In returning through Northborough had Mr. Whitneys Company, but did not tarry at his House.  At Home found that Capt. Maynard had brought a great Bundle of Court’s Journals, Laws, Sermon at Election, Governors Speeches and the Answers etc.
