1778 May 31 (Sunday). My Cares and Avocations through the Week prevented my making due preparations so that I preached again on Act. 4.12 a. and p.m. to p. 20. Mrs. Maynard, Winslow Brigham, and the Bryants dined here. I read a long Address of Congress to the people, and we have Contribution for Deacon Fay of Southborough. A Letter from Mr. Moore of May 25. He has a son William born Apr. 27.
