1745 November 26 (Tuesday). Wrote to my wife by Deacon Amos Rice of Brookfield, that I was well etc. except somewhat of a sore throat. Din’d with my aged mother. But at Night I grew so bad of it that I was in great Trouble. Something of a Fever accompany’d it — and I had an ill night. N.B. Lay at Brother Alexanders — but it was a sick House without me, for besides Sisters low Condition, Mr. Walker continues in his Confinement by the Gout there, and Alexander Kelland lyes very low there, in a Consumption.
