1777 September 12 (Friday). Was called early in the morning to visit a Child of Mr. Samuel Forbush which is thought to be near his End. Went, prayed, etc. Reuben assisted by his uncle Paul, grinds and presses out 4 Gal. (as he says) of the Juice of the Corn stalks. Dr. Stimpson waits on Mrs. Cotton here; they dine with us. The former goes to Sutton, the latter tarries over night with us.
