1760 October 30 (Thursday). Mr. Fessenden was to preach my Lecture if I could get no Body else. I could get no Body else; but neither could I have any Help from him: for though I wrote to him my Dependence, he made Return that he was not well and had taken physick. A.M. Went to Neighbour Morse’s, whose Child is dead. Visited Mr. Elijah Rice’s Wife; who has been delivered and yet lives, and has some liveliness. I preached on Ps. 119.77, using Sermon on Prov. 3.17 from p. 13 to 21. The more, probably, at Meeting, from Expectation of Mr. Fessenden. N.B. Mr. Ebenezer Chamberlin brought me a Barrell and half of Cyder and a Bushel Bagg of Apples. Also a Bag from Mr. Belknap.
