1771 December 5 (Thursday). Samuel Asbo and his Squa here, and they with the rest of his Friends make a Wigwam in the Swamp that is near us. He says he is son of the Minister of the Same Name at Mohegin. I read as yesterday.
Catechized at the Meeting House — but it was very Cold and therefore had but 27 Boys. P.M. it was So stormy and Cold that but one Girl came. I went to the Meeting House, but Soon returned. We were greatly rejoiced to see Breck who came from Monadnock the Day before yesterday, to Ashburnham and to day from Harvard. N.B. The Mare he rode on Stumbled, threw him, rolled upon him, so as to hurt his Knee, and his Wrist. Deacon Wood at Eve with Brecks help, cutts out and Salts down a Side of Beef for me.
