Straining, breaking traces in mud & snow


Wednesday, 31.--Having been invited to preach at Wem, Mrs. Glynne desired she might take me thither in a post chaise; but in little more than an hour we were fast enough; however, the horses pulled till the traces broke. I should then have walked had I been alone, though the mud was deep, and the snow drove impetuously; but I could not leave my friend. So I waited patiently till the man had made shift to rnend the traces; and the horses pulled amain so that with much ado, not long after the time appointed, I came to Wem.
