1746 May 27 (Tuesday). Early in the Morning I rode over to Mr. Williams to see his sons Wife and Child who had the Throat Distemper. Mr. Francis Whipple the Representative was with me, and we thence prosecuted our Journey for Cambridge and Boston. We rode to Mr. Liscombs[1] (at Southborough), to Mr. Stones — to Colonel Buckministers — rain’d at Weston — din’d at Woolsons Tavern. There came Mr. Cushing, and Mr. Whitney of Nitchewaug. My Company rode along, but much more on the Road, Colonel Stoddard,[2] Chandler[3] etc. We stopp’d at Saltmarsh’s — and then many more; Brigadier Dwight,[4] Colonel Porter, Mr. Breck, Mr. Chester Williams. Afterwards Dr. William Clark of Boston etc. I proceeded as far as Cambridge and lodg’d at Mother Champneys.
