1771 January 22 (Tuesday). Visit Mr. Biglow. Went on Foot, across the Swamps and Meadows (in great Part); they being frozen. Find Mr. B. on his Bed. I think he looses ground, though he has himself a great deal of Courage and hardly thinks he is much worse. Dined there. I gave him the Strongest Cautions I could, along with my Instructions and pressing Exhortations — prayed with them and at taking Leave Old Mr. Biglow offered to accompany me the nearest way across. At Eve came Mr. John Eliot, who tells me he has been preaching at Salisbury (nigh New Hopkinton) in New Hampshire. Shews me a Call which he has received from them. He hands me also his Papers of Approbation by Rev. Messrs. George Jewett, John Emerson, Jonathan Parsons, and George Leslie: and his Admission under the Care of the Presbytery dated at Boston. Signed by John Morehead Moderator and [blank] Clerk. Shews great Disgust with the Association at Brookfield and with Mr. Forbes in particular and with his wife — and is grieved about their Daughter. He lodges here.
