1740 November 6 (Thursday). Covering up my well it being very pleasant weather and the Earth open. Much Dirt had drop’d into the well by means of the Frosts. Mr. Mead here and Mr. Billings;[1] the latter inform’d me that the Committee for the School had sent for Mr. Jenison[2] to keep our school for Two Months over on the North side, and That Corner had met, agreed and rais’d Money for his preaching to them, all on the North of the Road; and Mr. Wheeler one of the said Committee was now down for him. Not a word of all which had I ever heard of till this Day.
[1]Thomas Billings.
[2]William Jenison, formerly a minister at Salem.
