November 18, 1760

1760 November 18 (Tuesday).  Mrs. Rice (Elijah’s Wife) Sends for me.  They think She will not continue.  I rode on Neighbour Newtons Beast there.  Found her very low — but willing, and Choosing to die.  Prayed with her — and again took leave.  Mr. Moses Warrin asked me [to] dine there, which I did — and he rode with me home.  N.B. On Consideration of the Cause of Religion I would not send my first Draught of an Answer to Mr. Hutchinsons Second Letter.  I wrote a meek, moderate one.
