March 21, 1775

1775 March 21 (Tuesday).  He goes to Boston.  I rode to Southborough.  One Theodore Turner accompanys me part of the way.  He was enquiring after Asa Ware.  I dined at Mr. Stones.  Lt. Lyscombe of Brookfield there, and defends the People there in the Dismissing Mr. Forbes.  He says it was owing to Mr. Forbes’s desiring it, whereas he believes 3 4th of the Parish had rather he would have stayed.  And that it was Mr. Forbes’s Request that the Causes and Reasons might not be Searched into.  In my returning home I called to see old Mr. Gale, confined to his Bed, by the Rheumatism.  Prayed with him: also old Mrs. Forbush under her Cancer: and prayed with her.
