October 25, 1744

1744 October 25 (Thursday).  Mr. Smith having desir’d me to preach for him, but not hearing any Thing from him Since he went to Cape Ann, I rode as far as Mr. Matthias Rice’s with whom I had some Business, that I might be more certain — but could not find from them or from there Nei[gh]bours that any Lecture was appointed — so that I return’d home.
