Deacon Knowlton comes to desire me to assist in a Fast to be kept at Shrewsbury on the 29th Current. N.B. The Precinct Met to See whether they would make some Addition to my Sallery for this Year. And whether they would come into some way to get my wood this year. As they Sat up the Notification without me, So they wholly transacted with out me; nor sent me any message at Night of what they have done.
