1766 March 12 (Wednesday). Mrs. Mary Bradish here and gives me 20/ more, in acknowledgement for my Pains in transcribing for her my sermon on the Death of her Father. She Says, this, with what She gave before (25/) is to make up a Dollar to me for that service. I demanded nothing. I give way, at [sic] let her do as She pleases. I am disappointed of Mr. Martyns help in my Lecture and therefore am looking over my old Sermons and Expositions for something to preach to Day; but I have sent a Line also to Mr. Sumner, who comes, dines, preaches — on Luk. 22.19. After Lecture Mr. Cushing, Mrs. Maynard and Cousen Betsy at Tea. My Wife is but poorly. Mr. Morse of Shrewsbury has a very sore Finger; and is to Day very bad with it.
