May 14, 1775

1775 May 14 (Sunday).  Preached at Hopkinton a. and P.M. on Judg. 2.10.11.12.  I baptized Lawson, of Samuel and Hannah Haven.  N.B. Mr. William Blair Townshend was there, having removed from Boston, to Cambridge first — and afterwards to Hopkinton.  At Eve I returned home unhurt through divine Goodness, and may God forgive what was amiss and be pleased to bless my poor Labors!  Mr. Fitch went home.  He preached a.m. on Heb. 10.24, P.M. on Exod. 15.18.  He Baptized Elisha, of Abijah and Susanna Gale, and Aaron of Joseph and Ruth Harrington.  When I came home found my Daughter in Law, Sally, and her Son Samuel here.  Also Edward Procter who waited on her.  A Letter also from my son (Samuel) concerning his Troubles and Difficultys– what goods are got over to Charlestown, and a Team to bring them up; etc.
