June 13, 1769

1769 June 13 (Tuesday).  John is ill with stomach-Ach.  Temple is so lame that he cannot work.  Coll. Williams of Marlborough here.  Eben. Maynard jr. dined with us.  P.M. I visited Ensign Fay and his Family.  Besides the Death of her only Sister White at Boston, their Son Jeduthun was taken very ill in the Meeting House last Lords Day: but he is now in great Measure recovered.  I also visited Capt. B. Fay’s Wife, who being near her time has been confined from public Worship and in particular from Sacrament.  I went likewise to See poor Mr. Moses Brigham who is very bad with his Cough, etc.  Prayed with him as well as Spent Time with him in Discourse to quicken and forward him in his preparation.  He asks me to preach there at Some convenient time, Seeing he has been So long confined at home.  Called at Lieut. Bakers to desire him to Supply me with a good Horse etc. and he tells me he will endeavour it, as Soon as he can.  He offers to take my Mare now as Soon as I will, but then I must be without a Horse for our necessary Service.
