1755 December 8 (Monday). Rode to Mr. Charles Richardsons who copy’d the Plans which I borrow’d last night, for me. Mr. Wellman and Lieutenant Tainter came, and we all din’d there. P.M. Lieutenant and I return’d home, calling at Mr. Wellmans where I borrow’d Henry on the Historical Books of Old Testament[1] and at Mr. Hutchinsons with whom both I and Mr. Wellman are somewhat disquieted that he would not change with Mr. Wellman and go to Westborough in his Stead. I arriv’d safely through God’s Mercy, in the Evening. Thus I have perform’d this long design’d Journey for the Sake of my dear Kinswoman, Mrs. Fuller (who is about 82). And may God himself visit, Support and bless them and at last receive them to Himself!
