March 15, 1758

1758 March 15 (Wednesday).  Mr. Asaph Rice is going to Boston to buy Druggs in order to set up the practice of Physick here among us; and I Send by him the Money which Mr. Cutler left for Mr. Stone: for I concluded that Since I have heard nothing from him about his Lecture, it will not be this Week.  But about 10 o’Clock I received a Letter from him that his Lecture was to be this Day, and this Hour.  I was very sorry — and wrote him an Answer.  Indeed it was a very Cold Day and I was much indisposed; yet I had so strong Inclination to go that if I had any Such seasonable Notice as that I could have got there I don’t know but that I Should have attempted it.  Jonathan Cook here and wants my Other place this Year.
