1770 May 2 (Wednesday). Mr. Loyd goes on his Journey to Blanford. P.M. my Daughter Sophy goes with me to the private Meeting at Mrs. Grouts. I preached on Prov. 16.31. The hoary Head etc. May God send a Blessing! At Evening Mr. Nurse requests that a Family that were moving to Athol, might have the Shop to rest them Selves in to night. It was one Mr. Bates, who had his Wife and Six Children — also a Young man accompanying them. They tarry there and in the House: some of them lodging here. Billy is also with us.
