August 25, 1772

1772 August 25 (Tuesday).  I leave Breck and the Carpenters to go to their work and Set out early to go to Ministers Meeting at East Sudbury.  Call at Capt. Ezekiel Hows, and at Mr. [blank] Wheelers, who keeps Tavern.  There was their poor sister Manson, who was disordered in Body and Mind.  At her Request prayed with her.  At our Meeting at Mr. Bridge’s were Messrs. Smith and Stone, and Mr. Goss.  I was moderator and prayed.  Candidates there also were Messrs. Marrit and Abraham Wood.  Gave the latter a further Approbamus.  See minutes of Association.  Mr. Stone and I rode to my son Williams and lodged there.
