1767 February 20 (Friday). Jonas Kenny brought home my Oxen unexpectedly, but the Roads are so very Slippery that they can’t work. Send a Load of Ashes to Capt. Wood. P.M. One of Mr. Phinehas Hardys sons came to request me to go up to his Brother Noahs Wife (Rachel), who is at their House; She fearing she is near her End. I broke off from my Studys (though I was exceeding busy, and to my great Obstruction), went to her, talked with her, examined her — prayed with her, and old Mrs. Byles present, who is this Month 93 years old.
