1777 September 16 (Tuesday). My Son Ebenezers Wife and her son and Daughter Bradshaw came from Shrewsbury here to Breakfast. They are going to Boston etc. Having Squire Whipple’s Horse, I rode to Southborough to Ministers Meeting at Mr. Stone’s. All came except Mr. Goss, who has (we are informed) a Cause at Superior Court to Day. [I was?] chose Moderator. Mr. Stone prayed. He also read a Discourse on Isa. 58.6. May it be accompanied with divine Blessing! Returned at Eve. Received a Letter from Col. Baldwin of Sept. 7.
I have endeavoured as I could to remember this Day is my Birth Day, when I enter upon my 75th year. The Lord impress my Soul with a deep sense of it! Vid. Natal.
