1776 December 17 (Tuesday). Went to visit Mr. Solomon Baker, confined by a sore bred in his Face: was discharged plentifully. Dined there. In reckoning with him for keeping my late fat Cow 18 Days, Corn and Hay and tendence — but he gave it, and would ask me Nothing. May God reward him, in both temporals and Spirituals. I went to his Brother Josephs, who has in kindness sent Samuel Williams with 2 Yokes of Oxen to the Ministerial Lot, and brought me a good Load of Wood. Visit Mrs. McCulloch, and Mrs. Keen. Also Mrs. Wood, who is much recovered. N.B. I saw there Mr. Samuel Fay junior of Killingly. Hear John Whipple has paid his Fine. James Hicks has cut his Ankle with an Ax when he was at the ministerial Lot with Williams.
