1772 December 12 (Saturday). Reuben talks as if discouraged, but I induced him to go on. He went to Lt. Brighams. Hear that Mr. Barrett dyed last night. [Marginal notation: On the 12th Capt. Jonathan Fay here complaining of the Conduct of Several Church Members who had abused him etc. — but I persuaded him to wave it — and not disturb the Communion.]
