HARTFORD, Conn, May 3, 1916.
Observing in my perambuations about these parts,
tha your independent sheet enjoys pretty extensive
circulation, and is eagerly sought after by all classes
and believing that glmmer Of what's going on, as
we'll as what's to come of, vit be acceptable to
yourself and reader, p d1ung my sojourn
here, should you approx thereof, TO furnish brief
synopsis of such matters and things in general as in
terest all mankind, and women in particular.
Lmuimis There is somewhat more than con-
siderable quantity of building going on, embracing
divers mammoth edifces for sacred and secular pur-
poses. Among the former is free stone church for
the Unitarians on the corner OF Asylum and Trunl-
bull streets, which is great eye-sore to the blue
skins in this region, who are zealousy opposed to
any body+s going heaven, except by the same rail-
road on which they and their forefathers have been
travelling ever since the landing OF the liberal and
enlightened "Pilgrim Fathers" who, SO kindly, by
fire and water and many other purifiers, (now mis-
called prosecutions by the wicked and degenerate)
removed the living obstacles which in their day and
generation stood in the way of our salvation. De-
spite all opposition, however, the Units have gained
firm footing here, and evince an indomltabe spirit
of go-a-head-atveness which can't be beat The
Universalists, too, fourlshlng like green bay
tree, much to the chagrin OF the immaculate Congre
gatlonaists, who labor with an earnestness, worthy
better cause, to check the growing influence OF
these sects and to piousy prevent the spread of any
system creed but their own. But the opposition
to Unitariansm, Universasm, or any other ism, IS
mere drop IN the bucket, In comparison with their
rabid virulence towards Catholicism. They unceas
lngy ransack the Greek, English, Latin, Dutch,
Hebrew, French, and don't know but the Welsh
and Mesian languages for eplthets to express their
ignorant class of felow-bengs-(.' these last words

efforts to stay its rapidly increasing and WIDE spread

p. s. There has been great disappointment at the

something like fortnight. Perhaps it IS better as ii

next, Imay give you sketch of such amusements as
they do countenance-they are such queer affairs.
