1724 October 12 (Monday). I return’d to Westborough. Mrs. Wood[1] at her house discours’d about Some Methods for the people in their provision for Ordination. In the Evening came a Committee to treat with my Landlord about providing, etc. There was much Caring about bringing up my Goods.
Memorandum. I formed Letters (by the Towns Desire) to be Sent to Severall Churches, (viz. Boston to Mr. Webb, Framingham Mr. Swift, Marlborough Mr. Breck, Lancaster Mr. Prentice[2] and (a Letter from myself to ask him to preach), Sudbury Mr. Loring,[3] and Mendon Mr. Dorr). These were drawn up on the 9th Day.
