          is physician there. Last week was
 spent in packing which I did not entirly
 complete, but as I was not willing
 to spend another sabbath either in Midd.
 or in Cornwall, I left a day's work of it & came
 down here where I have nephews. I preached
 last sabbath in Cuttingsville where the
 Ch. is perhaps in as pitiable a case as any
 one I ever saw in N.E. The pastor is 
 clean discouraged. I staid over & we had
 a prayer meeting on Monday night _ nine
 of us present _ They have another to-night
 & I meet then again to-morrow night
 & on Fast day. It may be that the Lord
 will look on their low estate & help them.
 Universalism is rife there: their pastor is
 a young man of, I think, moderate talent.


 I learned that [Dr Labance?] is to
 sail for Europe on 10th. while I was
 last in Midd. I ascertained too that
 there was no present chance of getting
 any money from College as the Pres.
