1760 October 23 (Thursday). Mr. Minot prepares a Quit Claim for Capt. Adams to sign of his Right to what he sold to Mr. Jon Parks late of Pomfret. I also left with him 50/ old Tenor for Capt. Daniel Taylor of Townshend, with a Letter to him. I then hastened to Marlborough. Dined at Mr. Smiths, and preached his Lecture (as he had requested yesterday). My Text was 2 Cor. 10.4. Arrived safely at Home in the Evening. To God be Glory! Mr. Fessenden here. N.B. I received yesterday his Promise to preach for me next Lords Day; but he told me a Man had been with him to desire him to preach at the North End because Mr. Martyn was gone to Cambridge to the Funeral of Mrs. Monis, and would not return to preach himself but the people would be without, if Mr. Fessenden should not go. I therefore consented to his going there; and engaged him to preach for me the Lords Day following.
