1776 September 4 (Wednesday). Mr. Nathan Maynard has not worked much for me of late, but Mr. Warrin has Stuck by my Business and to Day they cart home two load and therewith finish Haying. N.B. last Year we made an End a Month sooner, viz. Aug. 5. Nigh Evening I visited Mrs. Andrews, who is yet alive though very low and unable to speak much: She was not able even to bear much Discourse with her. I prayed with her and took final Leave. N.B. In going to Mr. Andrews Deacon Stow of Grafton accompanyed me. Every body is full of the News from New York. Capt. Morse having been last night here and requested I would write a Letter for him to Henry Marble, from whom he had received a notable one; which he brings to me, I wrote an answer and sent it by his Son Abner.
