June 24, 1745

1745 June 24 (Monday).  A very Spreading report that Mr. Whitefield is to preach at Grafton tomorrow.  I visited Deacon Tomlin who lyes utterly insensible, breaths as if he was in a Sleep but cannot be wak’d, nor has Spake ever since about Sundown last Evening.  Tis conceiv’d is in a dying State. Mr. Benjamin Burnap came to me at the Deacons.  He has gather’d a Number of Subscriptions (under mine) for Mr. Edwards to Religious Affections.  Old Ensign Newton here.
