December 6, 1752

1752 December 6 (Wednesday).  Messrs. Martyn Pratt and Elijah Rice, get out Flax.  Neighbour Eliphalet Adams also.  N.B. Mr. Jonathan Forbush brought me about 254 feet of Plank which he had sav’d for my stable and Cow House.  N.B. It was So Cold I did not venture to go over to preach Mr. Martyns Lecture to Day.  I desire to be humbled under the Frowns of God’s Providence whereby I am detain’d and prevented.
