1758 May 16 (Tuesday). It was so rainy a Day that I was prevented going to Leominster as I designed: but I put my Self into the better preparation against I can go. A number of Neighbours dined here — viz. Lieut. Eliezer Rice (who in the Name of Capt. Maynard; and a Number more who are going out in the service, desired me to preach a Sermon to them), Mr. Zebulon Rice, John Maynard and Joseph How.
