1780 February 16 (Wednesday). A fine day after such a violent Storm. The Snow is much sunk, but it is so pervaded by the Rain that the Creatures slump very deep, and no Horse can pass the Road. I begin to read Lord Chesterfield’s 2nd Vol. I am called away to visit old Mrs. Baker. Two young men Enoch Greenwood and John Baker draw me on a Sled to the House. She is very low and in great Distress for want of Breath. She is able to say but very little. I at her request prayed with her. The same young men brought me home. May God prepare me for my own Turn!
