October 3, 1764

1764 October 3 (Wednesday).  I expected Mr. Maccarty to preach my Lecture but he came not.  Preached my self on Joh. 19.34.  Stopped the Church to acquaint them with Deacon Bonds Request that the Church would excuse him from going to Yarmouth Ordination because the general Court is prorogued to the 10th and he (a member of it) must attend it.  The Church accepted it, and voted to Send another.  They chose Brother Gale.  The Church also, by vote, left the money lately contributed for Vessels, to the Discretion of the Deacons.  N.B. Mr. Nathaniel Ball returns from Boston, but does not bring my Mare.  Soon came my Cousen Nathaniel on her.  He has been sick and is Still in a Weak Condition.  Mr. Green leaves me only 2 Dollars in Cash.
