1758 May 1 (Monday). Visited Sarah Smith junior (Daughter of the widow Sarah Smith) who is sick of a Fever. There I dined. Visited at Mr. Gershom Brighams — Joseph Knowltons, where was Dr. Crosby, who acquainted me with the Frolick which a Number of young People had at Baldwins Tavern in Shrewsbury last Thursday Night and that he himself wrote a Letter to Mr. Baldwin the preceding afternoon, which was the means of breaking it up. N.B. The young Men were partly those who have enlisted into the service: and Solomon Fay of this Town was one. I visited at Mr. Samuel Fays junior. N.B. his son Solomon came in: I therefore talked with him about the above mentioned Frolick. Called at Neighbour Eliezer Rice’s — bid farewell to Thomas Hardy and his wife, they designing for Brookfield in the Morning. When I came home came Mr. Oliver Carter of Leominster to desire me to assist at a Fast there — he lodged here.
