1736 September 22 (Wednesday). Mr. Joseph Stretton came from Marlborough with Mr. Ephraim Brighams Request to visit and pray with them at the Funeral of their Only Child[1] — and I went with him. N.B. As I went to Marlborough I visited Aaron and Samuel Hardys Familys, whose Children, especially the Latter’s, were sick of the Distemper. Called at Coll. Wards and Mr. Amsdens as I returned in the Evening. Very Cool Evening. N.B. David and [Ebenezer?] Maynard digging stones.
