1773 November 13 (Saturday). Mr. Clark in the Morning Signed the Said Memorandum and Jonathan Maynard and my Daughter Sophia witnessed it. He leaves Benjamin here, and setts out for home. Cousen Larkin Williams came in to see me, and was full of Talk in Defence of the Conduct of the Town of Marlborough towards Mr. Smith: and has divers Exceptions against Ministers in general — their settling for sallerys, and presently crying out for more, their preaching old sermons, which were paid for already etc. etc. Breck returns — has been with Hannah quite to Ashburnham and left her there. At Eve Mr. Sumner, going to preach at Southborough, calls here. May it please God to prepare me by his Grace for this Sabbath!
