1769 September 20 (Wednesday). Deacon Woods and I rode to Worcester. Dined at the Tavern by the Court-House, with Mr. Beeman. Rev. Mr. Lawrence of Lincoln, Mr. Morse etc. dined there likewise. Attended the Court p.m. Such waste of Time is very uneasy to me. Mr. Lawrence and I rode to Capt. Curtis’s for Lodging and were very kindly received and generously entertained. Mr. Whitney preached my Lecture.
