December 19, 1775

1775 December 19 (Tuesday).  Mr. Thomas K[torn] al, who has preached of late at [Jersey?], was here and dined with us.  He designs to go to the Camp: I therefore P.M. rode with him as far as to Mr. Dan. Warrins, whose Wife’s Brother Daniel is in a Languishing state.  I instructed and prayed with him.  Mr. Warrin tells me that Daniel wants to have a sermon preached there; his Mother has been long confined.  N.B. Sad News from [torn]ster of 3 Youths, two of them Chandlers who came from Boston [viz.?]Franklin and one W [torn] Scating upon a pond the Ice broke and they w[torn] drowned.  May God please to Sanctifie this awful Dispensation!  Of these See more hereafter.  My Son Samuel Sat out in his Chaise to go to Woodstock.
