1781, 28 April
H.D. [Henry Drinker] went this morning to Magnolia; returned about 10 o'clock with Dr. Edwards, and ye Body of our deceased Friend Dolly Salter. She was interred in ye Church burying ground, at 6 in ye evening. It was a sort of Friendly burying, tho' ye Parson attended, and ye Bell rang. Two of our Publick Friends assisted to carry her to ye Grave, and two thirds of the company, I believe, were of that People.
