1773 April 1 (Thursday). I catechized at the meeting House. Upward of 40 Boys. It rained p.m. Only 4 Girls. N.B. my Kinsman Bradshaw left us in the morning to return to Stoughtonham: and my son Cushing (taking with him his 2 first vols. of the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences) went to Shrewsbury (in his way home) carrying with him Several Volumes of Spectator also.
