August 8, 1779

1779 August 8 (Sunday).  It is still wet Weather.  I preached a. and p.m. the rest of the Discourse on Ps. 4.7, which may we all be duely effected with!  Mr. Samuel Barrett of Hopkinton and his Wife came over to our Meeting (Mr. Fitch and his lady being gone to Connecticut), dined etc. here.  At eve, I read in the Family some Chap. of Thomas a Kempis.  N.B. The Widow Sarah Smith is in Glooms again.
