1767 January 26 (Monday). A Snow storm. I despatch Breck to Lt. Forbush to See if Mr. Cook lodged there last night, and tell him that I could not go in such a storm. Or if he be not there to enquire whether Mr. Ebenezer would go to the Burial? Or whether he would go with me, if I should go? He returns that Cook had not been there — that he Should not go — and that he did not believe that they would expect me: that it was Slippery by reason of the Ice in the Road: and the Snow had covered up the Path– So that, the Storm also prevailing, I did not venture. Nor do I think Mr. Smith would stir to go his Journey. Am sorry I said nothing to Mr. Cook about the Weather — but it was implyed in what he said about the Road, viz. that in the Light I might see where it was trod; for otherwise it was too Icy to be safe. Read in Dr. Watts of the World to come; and can’t but esteem that work so far as I have gone in it.
