1747 November 9 (Monday). Mr. Rice left us to go to Marlborough. My wife and I accompany’d with old Mr. Whipple and his wife rode up to see old Mr. Thomas Knowlton and his wife. In my way I went to Mr. Eleazer Bellows to admonish his Daughter Charity for her Repeated Fornication, which Duty I (as I was able) discharg’d and she thank’d me for it. We call’d also at Mr. Joseph Knowltons. We din’d at Mr. Abraham Knowltons, they having provided purposely very plentifully. As we return’d we call’d at Mr. Joseph Miles’s and at Mr. Gershom Brighams and at Mr. Francis Whipples. At Eve we return’d in Peace. D.G.
