Such is one Of the narratives that have fioafcd
Down in the traditions Of New England. The par
ti.ulars have been derived from the relation of a
kind friend, and from the corroborative testimony
of records and old papers. Some brief letters OF
L;dv FARMLAND are preserved on the flies Of tho
Provincial Congress. The beauty Of the graceful
haad- writing is occasionally marred by defects OF
photography, showing the deficiency OF carly cdu-
eaton.
