September 8, 1740

1740 September 8 (Monday).  A.M. I visited Ensign How and Jonathan Goodenow, and Mr. Frink accompanying me as far on my Journey as to the Grist Mill, there he stopp’d.  I call’d to see Mr. Calwell[1] and old Mr. Clark, and Lieutenant Davis[2] who had Several Children sick of the Throat Distemper with whom I pray’d.  N.B. Dr. Fletcher[3] accompany’d me down below Biglo’s.
