1727 January 4 (Wednesday). Towards night I went to Mrs. Edwards’s (the widow of my good Friend John Edwards[1]) and pay’d the Ballance of our Account. Thence I went to Deacon Greens[2] printing house and paid him for my years news, etc, etc. I had design’d to have been upon my Journey home, but it continued such dark and wet weather that I defer’d it.
[1]Of Charleston.
