1756 January 15 (Thursday). A bright and moderate Day. Through Divine Favour I am Somewhat better as to my Rheumatic Disorder. I had put on a Blister, which working well, gave me much Relief. To Gods Name be Glory! As to my sore Leg, I found it Necessary to consult Some Surgeon upon it; and therefore Sent for Dr. Brigham: but he could not come to Day. P.M. Mrs. Ruhamah Newton (Deacons widow) visited me. N.B. Mr. Chamberlins Family greatly distressed, all of them Sick but the man himself. May the Omnipresent, Allsufficient God visit them!
