November 13, 1764

1764 November 13 (Tuesday).  Uncertain whether Mr. Martyn would come this way and understanding that Mrs. Hardy grew much worse, I thought it my Duty to Set out so much the Sooner as to visit her.  I did so and prayed with her.  She was very weak and low, but her Faith strong and her hope firm.  She Said I had been her Father this forty Year.  Mr. Forbush and afterwards Squire Whipple came there.  Deacon Paul Newton also came, from Mr. Martyn, who was on the Road to call us.  N.B. Sarah has my mare (as I ride Mr. Morse’s) and with my Consent to gratifie Lt. Baker put her into his Chaise, and take up Miss Molly.  They come to me at Mr. Hutchinsons in Grafton, where we dine.  The rest of the Company I overtake at Capt. Lelands.  We call at Mr. Halls.  N.B. I received a Bundle of Papers of him relative to the Davidson Case.  We arrive at Squire Davis’s.  Rev. Goss with us — and lodge there.
