1770 July 25 (Wednesday). Mrs. Hill has been to Marlborough and returned here. She hears nothing of a Contribution there. I direct her to Deacon Wood, who has the Money which we collected, and I wrote to him to disburse it so as to answer the Design of it, and the Expectation of the People. Preached my Lecture my Self; from Ps. 85.9.11. Capt. Maynard and his Wife here after Lecture. He tells me that the Select Men advised Deacon Wood to deliver Mrs. Hill the money. At Eve came Mr. Putnam of Pomfret, and my Kinsman Bradshaw — and lodged here.
