1758 May 17 (Wednesday). I having received it from the Mouth of Mr. Oliver Carter that the Fast at Leominster is Appointed to be tomorrow (and wrote it down so in his Sight), went to Day over to Lancaster. N.B. Mrs. Gamel (heretofore wife of Dr. Dunsmore) in Company through the worst of the Way. Visited Mr. Harrington. Borrow of him the Historical Accounts of China. Visit old Madam Prentice at Capt. Abijah Willards; and Mrs. Zipporah Phelps — and lodged at Mr. Goss’s in Bolton: but Mr. Goss not at home. N.B. Mrs. Goss’s Sister Pool there with Cancer in her Lip. N.B. This Day was Fast at Shrewsbury, appointed by the Association and Mr. Martyn preached a.m. Mr. Buckminster p.m. but I conceived it my Duty to go to Leominster if the Fast would be tomorrow there; which I could not know without going to Lancaster; for I knew also sufficient Assistance was gone to Mr. Cushing.
