October 27, 1777

1777 October 27 (Monday).  Alexander waits upon me with the Chaise and Horse he came with, to see Mr. Reuben Bellows’ Wife, who lies sick; and having discoursed with her, I prayed there.  We then proceeded to Southborough, and visited Mr. Stone, who though at the Close of the last Week he was somewhat better, was grown Worse.  Prayed with him.  We dined there.  He manifests great Humility, and a deep sense of his need of Mercy.  A storm of Rain arose and continues.  In returning home we went to Mr. Abraham Beemans, his son Abraham being Still much out of Health: the man himself and his two other sons also not well.  We called at Mr. Thomas Andrews.  Though it proved a stormy Day, yet we arrived safely at Eve.  D.G.
