March 18, 1767

1767 March 18 (Wednesday).  Visit at old Mr. James Maynards on account of his Daughter Lock’s sickness at Sudbury; but Mr. Maynard was not at home.  N.B. I called at the Mill and at Squire’s as I went.  Rode to Mr. Temple’s and dined there.  Thence to Mr. Gleasons — but my chief Design was to visit Mr. Joseph Knowlton, who is very low — was [Waiting?] to pray with him, and did so.  Would fain see Betty Cutter who had had such a Terrible disorder — but she passed by without my Knowlege.  And though I called at her Fathers when I returned back at Eve, and would gladly have seen her — but She was gone out.  This is the 4th Time that I have tryed to see her, but not succeeded.  I visited Deacon Miles and his wife.  Prayed with them.  Went to the Widow Miles’s.  Found her still in Trouble.  Called at Dr. Crosbys when I came back.
