1776 August 2 (Friday). Richard Temple dyed this Morning in the 32 year of his Age. I went up to Mr. Newtons where he lay, and where his paramour, Miss Persis Baker, of Bolton who had been published to him, was. Mrs. Beeton was here and requests that a grand Daughter which She has taken to bring up, may be baptized. I propose to Speak to the Brethren of the Church about it.
