1777 September 25 (Thursday). I visited Mrs. Piper again and prayed with her. Master Joseph Hall of Sutton dined here. I rode to the East part — to Mr. Ezra Parkers, and find him Sick of a Fever — to Mr. Belknaps — but neither He nor she at home. Was well refreshed there, not withstanding. Called at Widow Bellows’s and at Mr. William Johnson’s. Visit at Mr. Snows and Mr. Abraham Beemans. N.B. his son Abraham is Sick. At each of these last House, had a Present of a Cheese.
But this Afternoon, while I was abroad, my Daughters Sophy and Hannah with Mr. Noah Hardy returned home from Cape Ann: but [I see?] not Hannah [this?] night. I understand She is more sick and wasted than when she went away. Mr. Cushing came — and lodged here.
