1764 October 13 (Saturday). Leaving Mr. Smith at Sandwich, to preach for Mr. Williams, Mr. Stone and I proceed to Barnstable — dine at my dear Friends Mr. Green’s. N.B. Mr. Joseph Mayhew from Nantucket there. N.B. a young Gentleman (Mr. Lewis of Eastham’s son) now from Boston, tells us there are Letters from the Agent Mauduit, of Dark Cloud hanging over the Colonys, and the heavyest part of it, on the Massachusetts. Mr. Stone goes on his Journey, and intends to preach at Mr. Cheevers[1] Parish at Eastham. I tarry at Mr. Greens.
