November 13, 1775

1775 November 13 (Monday).  I walked to old Lt. Forbushs, his Wife being not well — rode from thence to Mr. Rumbly’s, who lives at Mr. Haskills — thence to Mr. Andrews’ — his son George being Sick of a Fever.  Exhorted, prayed and dined there.  Called at Mr. Daniel Warrins, his Mother in Law lies there sick and lame yet, and her son Daniel ill of a Fever.  N.B. The Town Met, among many other Things, to see what Addition they Should make to my Sallery, and whether they Should provide my Wood.  At Eve came the Captains Benjamin Fay, Stephen Maynard and Mr. Batherick, a Committee from the Town to acquaint me that the Town had granted £11.13.4 addition and 6.13.4 for my Wood, for this Year.  At Eve also came Masters May and Willard.
