1770 September 26 (Wednesday). I lend Mr. Rice one Vol. of the Morning Exercise. After Dinner Mr. Rice leaves us to visit his Aunt Hardy under her Cancer. I visited Mrs. Eunice Rice, to See how her Frame of Mind was relative to my not mentioning her Case in public last Lords Day. She answered that She did not know but that it was best not to. N.B. Lt. Baker met me in the Road and informed me that just before he was at Mr. Townsends Shop, where were Mr. Daniel Adams and Elisha Forbes: and that Mr. Timothy Warrin was among them Shewing great Dissatisfaction at my refusing to read Fisks Note of Thanks last Sabbath. Whereas if I had read it, and proceeded as usual upon it, I am sensible it had given Offence to divers of the Brethren.
