1780 February 21 (Monday). Elias went with me in the Sleigh to visit aged Mr. James Maynard, who being weak and decaying, desired Prayers yesterday — found him better and conversible — was not asked to pray. I went in to Amasa’s. N.B. Though Amasa has kept House above twenty years, yet had never lift up his Hand for Minister’s Sallery. At eve, came William’s brother Jonathan from Ashburnham, and brought him Shirts and Frock and Shooes and Stockings etc. He lodges here. Mr. Bowman and his Lady made us an evening Visit. N.B. His people make very little provision for him.
