1749 February 11 (Saturday). Disappointed of Changing tomorrow with Mr. Martyn. I did what I could to prepare my Self. But at about 11 at night came Mr. Ebenezer Johnson from Southborough requesting me to change tomorrow with Mr. Minot[1] of Concord, who would preach at Acton and Mr. Swift[2] for Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith would come to supply my place whilst I should go to Southborough. Accordingly
[1]Timothy Minot (Harvard 1718), a Concord schoolmaster who preached occasionally. Sibley, VI, 257-258. See Shattuck, Concord, p. 164.
[2]The Reverend John Swift, Jr., of Acton.
