1775 November 25 (Saturday). P.M. Capt. B. Fay came, earnestly requesting me to go immediately to old Mr. Nathaniel Whitney, who has Convulsion Fits. I was closely engaged in preparing a sermon for tomorrow, but was obliged to leave it. I went — found him so convulsed as to be incapable of Speaking plainly. He had his senses and could walk about. I prayed with him. Returned at Eve. Mr. John Overlock from Ashburnham came with a Cow and two young Creatures to be kept here this Winter.
