Diary of John Quincy Adams, volume 2

Mr. Webster1 from Salisbury preached for us this day: a venerable old gentleman who has been subject to many misfortunes, and whose countenance is expressive of the sensibility which has so often been wounded.
I took a long walk in the evening with Stacey; a young fellow who has been very imprudent; but whose disposition is I believe very good.
Rev. Samuel Webster, minister of the West Parish, Salisbury (Sibley-Shipton, Harvard Graduates
