1745 December 9 (Monday). Great Concern upon my Heart respecting our Northern Brethren who this Day meet to Elect a Minister. The Lord grant them Grace and direction and overrule their spirits to do what may be for the Divine Glory and for their own truest peace and Welfare! Old Mr. Maynard here to have some alterations made in his will. N.B. Mr. Seth Rice’s little Daughter Hannah (of 2 and 1/2) dy’d last night.
