1775 September 4 (Monday). Nathaniel Chamberlain has watched with John, who still continues at the very Gate of Death, yet is upheld. N.B. One Mr. Isaac Wybird and his Wife, newly out of Boston and going to Grafton. I enquire concerning my Kinsman Elias, who has not got out of Boston himself but was last week, accompanying to the Ferry his Father and Mother (Coverly) in their going to Charleston. My Son William came from Concord — and towards Night returned. I visited a Number of sick — viz. Mr. Elijah Hardys Wife and Child sick of the Camp Distemper. Prayed with them and dined there. Called at Deacon Woods, his Matty ill — Miss Nabby Woods — Mr. Jonathan Forbes with a Fever — at Ensign Fays, his Wife and Daughter Sarah — at Neighbour Harringtons — visit old Mrs. Sarah Forbush and prayed there. Went also to Mr. Solomon Bathericks, who has a Fever. No body comes to watch. Mrs. P. sitts up.
