1747 November 2 (Monday). P.M. at Merchant Rice’s, dining there with the Officers, Captain Baker etc. At Eve pray’d with the Company before they were dismiss’d. N.B. Brother Hicks among us. Mr. Hall[1] of Sutton on his journey to Concord, spake with him on the Road. He informs me that the people of his Parish lately voted him 400£ (Old Tenor) for this Year. N.B. Mr. Loring preach’d at Grafton yesterday but he was not here either going or returning. N.B. Reverend Mr. Reed call’d here with his wife’s Mother from New Haven (whilst I was from home) and brought me a Letter from Mrs. Pierpoint.
