May 23, 1769

1769 May 23 (Tuesday).  Catechized — Boys about 35 or 6.  Girls 14 including my own.  Mr. Roberts and Capt. Damon call, and refresh here (but we had dined).  Was Sorry we were not better provided at this Time: but they were not willing to stay while any Thing could be dressed for them, though I urged as far as was decent, for I remember how kindly and generously I have been entertained by Mr. Roberts.
