1744 October 10 (Wednesday). We rode to Mr. Foxcrofts[1] and my Deeds from Mr. Lull were enter’d to be recorded. Proceeded to Boston. My aged Mother much more Comfortable than for a long Time. Blessed be God. We din’d with her. N.B. The Sorrowful Shocking News by Brother Samuel of Cousen Elias’s[2] Fall into uncleanness with Mrs. Sally Hill. The Lord Sanctifie this sore Trial for our deep humbling! P.M. I was at Dr. Sewals. We lodg’d at Brother Samuels.
