1750 March 20 (Tuesday). Storm of Snow so great that considering the great Straits of many people for Hay, it is very sorrowfull and distressing. Deacon Newton here in the Morning and brought the Contribution of our Parish for the Widow Richards — it amounted to £13.16.10, but very few large Bills — only 1 20/ Bill in the whole — one 14/ — and but a few 10’s. 2£ 16/ of Hampshire. £2.13.6 Rhode Island, of which a considerable number were of the condemned Bills. It grieves me much. Yet I am glad they did anything Since we are at this Day so many ways burden’d. The Lord accept our offering! but if any have knowingly offerred to the Lord a Corrupt Thing, the Lord be pleased to detect it to their Consciences, give ‘em the Grace to repent of it, and in great Mercy forgive it!
