March 22, 1745

1745 March 22 (Friday).  Could not get to writing my preparations for the Sabbath till this Morning, to any purpose; and then with too many Burdens, Cares and Avocations.  Heavy Showers and extreme high Winds.  I was not a little concern’d on the account of Such of the forces as have sail’d for Canso,[1] the place of Rendezvous.

[1]In northeastern Nova Scotia, opposite the shore of Cape Breton Island.
