1758 March 1 (Wednesday). Deacon Tainter having kept my Mare comes with her and Another in a Sleigh or Whirrey, to accompany me to Southborough. We called at Dr. Chase’s but he was not at home. And to See the French people at Southborough, Mrs. Goredow, and her Children. Went to See Mr. Stone; but he was gone to Shrewsbury to visit Mr. Morse, who has lately lost a Son of 7, or 8 Years old. After Dinner there we returned home. I can’t but take Special Notice of the Deacons readiness to serve and wait upon me, in a very respectfull Manner. And in the Mean Time is doing me the great Kindness to Subdue my new mare to drawing. I hope he does all sincerely, and as to the Lord, for I am utterly unworthy: but this Conduct must quicken me to endeavour to deserve it. May God reward him with abundant Spiritual Blessings!
