1781 January 5 (Friday). Mr. Beeton came and acquainted me that his mother [illegible] and worthy Mrs. Kelly expired [illegible] about one o’Clock. A great Loss to have such pious People to be removed from us. She was doubtless one of Gods precious Jewels and [one?] who Seemed to be always in a gracious [Frame?] May it please God to awaken us who Survive to a faithful Imitation! I suppose She was almost 87 years of age. At Mr. Beetons desire I went to the burying place to shew him which is the Grave of Mr. Alex. At night came Mr. Abel Curtis (of Dartmouth) and lodged here.
