1769 May 25 (Thursday). I rode to Shrewsbury — dined at Mr. Sumners. Preached the Lecture on Joh. 14.6, latter part. After the Exercises visit Miss Bridget Cushing who is become much lower. Capt. Curtis and his Wife there: also Mrs. Cushing of Waltham. Mr. Sumner walks with me to Coll. Wards who is not well. N.B. Our People of Westborough met to Day, to choose a Representative. Capt. Stephen Maynard has every Vote but one. And I hear that instead of a Treat, he gives 21£ Old Tenor in Boards etc. to Mrs. Judith Bellows to enable her to go on with the finishing her House. A very laudable Example!
