To The very many inhabitants Of the
very respectable town of Liichfeld, not
few Of whom, or their dcscc ndants, are
found in every part Of the United States,
the above communication will be regar-
ded az highly interesting historical pa.
per. The original is among the papers
left by DR.. Trumbull ~ written upon
full sheet, in perfect Preservaiion-in a
fair hand, scarcely tremulous, with cor
rect photography and punctuation. We
have attempted fac simile. Often have
we heard of the politensss Of the Old
School of gentlemen in New England.
The las: sentences of this letter afford
favorable example. The date is in the
10Th year after the ordination of the
venerable writer. We have this paper
copied with other similar papers, into
bound VOLUME. II the reader has Trum-
bull at hand, and will take the trouble 10
refer to Vol. II, p. SO, he will find that
Trumbull depended entirely upon this
letter for his account of the settlement of
!, Litchfield-though no reference is made
10 the fuct, which is to be regretted.
Our principal object in furnishing this
I paper for the Puritan, is 10 make known
the highly honorable testimony which it
; bears to the character of the ancient
: town of Litchfeld, in their kindness TO
their aged and revered pastor. This in
stance may we'll descend to posterity by
the side of that in the history of the first
pastor in Rorbury. Cotton Mather relates,
1Magnalia !, 49, that when the " Apostle
Eliot, a few years before his dissolution,
was left without an assstan, in the minis
try, he pressed his congregation to furnish
themselves with another. pastor-and in his
application TO them he told them 1t is pos.
sible you may think the burlhen of mains
tanning two ministers may be too heavy for
you-but l deliver you from that fear i do
here give back my salary to the Lord Jesus
Chrst-and now, brethren, you may fix that
uron any man that God shall make pastor
for you.' But his church, with handsome
