Returning, we stopped at the Old North Church. The congregation of that church, from the belfry of which the light could be easily discerned on the Cambridge side, was heart and soul in sympathy with the Colonists, while the congregation of Christ Church, known today as the Old North Church, was Episcopalian and Loyalist. We know that in consequence of the Tea Party the Old South Church fell under the ban and was used as a stable by the British. This claim interested him much. He seemed inclined to favor it as probable, but regretted any attempt at this late day to rob the Old North Church of its glory, since there was no North Meeting-House to be a shrine for patriotic pilgrims.
Life here is real and genuine.
There are no frills and pretence or artificiality here. I am going out to Nixon Waterman's to dinner tonight and I must have a clean shirt. Jim Zwick . All rights reserved.
