1775 March 8 (Wednesday). I rode to Shrewsbury to Mr. Sumners Lecture to the Minute-Men under the Command of Capt. Job Cushing. Dined at Mr. Sumners. Mr. Peter Whitney there. Mr. Sumners Text was Josh. 22.22. The Lord God of Gods etc. I prayed after sermon. Returning home I called at Mr. Gleasons, where were Joseph Harrington, John Harrington, Joseph Bond, and a number more, who rode with me part of the way home. N.B. Cousen Maynard having watched with the Sick woman, came here in the Morning to Breakfast — also dined here.
