August 27, 1771

1771 August 27 (Tuesday).  Neighbour Zebulon Rice, of Brookfield, came to see me.  Mr. Stone and his Delegates, in their way to the Council at Grafton, call here.  I went to Deacon Woods to See his Brother Johns Wife.  Shewed him the Copy of my Letter which I have sent to Mrs. Rice.  P.M. Mr. Daniel Forbes was here.  N.B. No mention of Mrs. Rice, nor any Thing of her Case.  He came to ask me to preach at his House.
