1777 September 19 (Friday). Am more and more sollicitous about my Children, as it is foul weather from Day to Day: And Elias being ill at College and can have no Wood.
P.M. Mr. Grindal Rawson here — dines — and communicates his Desire of a Council to advise about his Wifes Case relative to the Church of Harvard. But though he sollicits my going, I am obliged to deny. I recommend Mr. Stone; and he went there. Mr. Jonathan Grouts Wife makes us a Visit p.m. and drinks Chocolate.
