1777 September 29 (Monday). Elias was to have gone back to Cambridge on Saturday last, but is so out of Health that he could not undertake it. I was therefore obliged to go out into my Neighbourhood in quest of somebody to lead down Mr. Jarvis’s Horse, but could not succeed. Hannah pines away more and more. We are ready to despair of her Recovery. Her Mind I hope is suitably employed on the vast Affairs before her. My Heart is much affected with our Troubles. O that it might please God who is most compassionate, to pity us!
