1777 October 21 (Tuesday). Though it rained yet I went to Marlborough, it being Association there. Only Mr. Whitney and Mr. Newell came besides. Mr. Smith prayed and read a Discourse on Phil. 1.21, which I hope is to my Spiritual Profit. Was at Mr. Uriah Brighams. From thence I rode over to Mr. Stone’s, having heard that he was Sick, and found him so: confined to his Bed by a Fever. I lodged there.
