1752 October 25 (Wednesday). I din’d at home, but p.m. rode over to see Mr. Martyn, not having been there of a very great while: yet my pains were Successless: They both, Mr. Martyn and his Wife were gone to Southborough. I soon return’d — it was well I did: my little son Breck was carry’d home lame from School by Mr. Eliezer Rice — tis fear’d his Leg is broke. May God Sanctify!
