January 20, 1756

1756 January 20 (Tuesday).  A Very fine Day, but I am yet Confined to my Chamber.  Several Friends visited me.  Mr. Smith of Marlborough, Dr. Willson from Hopkinton and after the Funeral of Miss Anna Chamberlin, Mr. Stone, who informs me that Mr. Chamberlin did not come to the Grave, because it was concluded that Nathaniel was dying.  The Lord in his infinite Compassion visit them in their Miserable State!  N.B. Received a second Letter from Mr. Charles Richardson about Grain, whereas I have sent a Letter of my mind to him some time since.
