November 24, 1760

1760 November 24 (Monday).  Have had a very poor Night — Pain in my right Cheek chiefly.  And it proving a Wet Day, I went not to the Burial of Mr. Elijah Rice’s Wife — that is to his House which is in Upton — but sent him a Note how it was with me.  Mr. Joseph Morse of Hopkinton dined with us.  P.M. Mr. Benjamin Tainter bears me a message from Mr. Elijah Rice who waits upon the Corps, and the Procession are moving along requesting I would pray with them somewhere.  I directed them into the Meeting House; and prayed there.  I went not to the Grave, because of my Indisposition, and because of the Wet.
