for the first time since I sent it in lS43,
by the hands of the sexton of ST. Michael's,
Mr.. Twine. II was certainly written in May,
If not earlier. My impression is that l had
spent week or more at Saratoga Tin a family
which had also been insulted), and that I came
down the North river on May 1, and spoke with
Gulian G. Verplanck, about the church then
building at Saratoga. | think it was after this.
