September 10, 1740

1740 September 10 (Wednesday).  My wife rode with me to Marlborough being ask’d by Dr. Gott to meet with a young widow whom he purposed to bring from Boston to his House this Evening.  We visited Colonel Woods whose illness So increases that this Day he is got up into his Chamber from which tis fear’d he will never come down.  We waited at Evening for the Doctor at his House till we were weary, and then return’d home without seeing him.
