1773 March 24 (Wednesday). I had Brecks Mare to ride to Bolton Lecture. Called at Mrs. Martyns. A Vendue of part of her Goods last night. Took Mr. Whitney with me to Bolton, but Mr. Stone (who lodged at Northborough last night) goes to Marlborough to a Singing Lecture there. Dined at Mr. Goss’s. Rev. Messrs. Morse and Johnson there. Mr. Morse prayed before sermon. Mr. Johnson preached: his Text Eph. 4.1 — “walk worthy the Vocation” etc. The Church with Mr. Goss asked our Advice, but I little to say. Returning with Mr. Whitney called at Mr. Nat. Longleys and read to him the Letter which I composed some time ago to be sent to Capt. Bailey and him, but was not Sent. Lodged at Mr. Whitneys.
