1755 June 30 (Monday). Set out a little before Sun rise on my Journey to Groton; leaving Billy ill of (I Suppose) the Fever and Ague. Broke fast at Mr. Martyns, and call’d and baited at Mr. Goss’s — din’d at Mr. Seccombs — supp’d and lodg’d at Mr. Trowbridge’s.[1] It rain’d hard great part of the p.m. and was long detain’d by it — partly at Mr. John Stone’s in Groton — and I stop’d at Captain John Stevens’s (late of Townshend, now in Groton). N.B. Mr. Lull there before me. N.B. The New Meeting House in Groton, a Superb Edifice and cost the Town above 13000 [1,300?] £ old Tenor.
[1]The Reverend Caleb Trowbridge of Groton, Mass.
