April 17, 1774
Sunday 17.
The morning vastly pleasant & Cohan-
-sie looks a delightsome as ever it used
I went to meeting. How unlike Virgi-
-nia, no rings of Beaux chatting before
& after Sermon on Gallantry; no assem-
-bling in crowds after Service to dine &
bargain; no cool, spiritless harangue
from the Pulpit; Minister & people
here seem in some small measure
to reverence the Day, there neither
do the one or the other--------I spent
