1767 February 12 (Thursday). Mr. Josiah Drury of Grafton comes to desire me to go to Mr. John Prentice’s, to attend the Funeral of his Child, a new-born Infant. The Reason of sending here was, Mr. Hutchinson was obliged to attend another Funeral to Day, viz. of Mr. Eleazer Flag junior. And seeing my Horse was gone (to Medfield) Mr. Drury went and borrowed an Horse (Mr. Silas Hill brought me his) and p.m. I went. In returning called at Major Willards and at Cousen Winchesters, She being in deep sorrows by the Death of her Daughter Mary, and her self also sick of a Fever. Prayed with her. When I came home, found that Persis Fay was come to live with us, and I made her Welcome. All of us endeavor to make it agreeable to her.
