1759 March 16 (Friday). Was Sent for to Mr. Nurse’s, Dr. Prentice being come. I went, found his wife also there. The Doctor judges the Tumour is of Scrophulous kind — that the Patient is much wasted, is [hectick?], and he fears will not stand it long. The Doctor and his Wife dined with me. Michael Robishow and two other young French men (one from Mendon, the other from Lebanon) here, and dine here. P.M. Mr. Charles Morris of Hopkinton here. Thus my Day, in which I longed after my study, was chiefly taken up. N.B. finished reading the late Mr. President Edwards on Original sin, which I desire to thank God for! And pray it may have a happy Success!
