D., Pastor of the East Church, Salem, Massachusetts, Vol. 3: January, 1803 December, 1810 January 1, 1803. The year entered agreably. We had been preserved from fires. Business had kept up as great activity as in any part of the Union. We had had no alarms from the di structive fever which has prevailed in our great Cities. No Insol vencies to involve the affairs of Individuals. Upon the whole, good causes for public private congratulations. I dined with a few friends, in honour of the day. The Gazette Register gave their annual compliments in the ditties as usual, but each avoiding per sonalities, had little to say.
