1773 November 1 (Monday). Read variously. Joshua Chamberlin brought me Langley on Architecture, enriched with Plates, Plans etc. Mr. Wilder left us. At Eve I went to the Committee for the Meeting House, who sit at Deacon Woods; and carried by Desire of Mr. Seth Morse, my Account of the Boarding etc. of the Workmen: but it was not to Effect. For they would not allow of my making Distinctions of Caruths being with us over the Sabbath — so that I took it again.
