MESSAGE FROM MOTHER CITY.
The Norwich, Conn.,, Record of Aug.
II has an article headed, "Chelsea, VT,
is fine daughter OF this CITY," We
quote the first paragraph
"Next week will be Old Home week
in Chelsea, VT, which town had for
some Of its original settlers people
from the town OF Norwich"
The site of The business portion of
the city of Norwich was originally
called Chelsea Landing, the town
being built two miles away on q hill
and now called Norwich town. The
article then gives the familiar account
of the early settlers, the Wills brothers
and the seven sons of Rufus Hatch,
who came to Chelsea with their
widowed mother in 1893, the grandson
OF one Of them being the only known
representative of the early settlers now
living in Norwich, and Charles Hatch,
son OF Harry Weeden Hatch, who was
born and lived on the East Hill.
The mayor Of Norwich sent the follow
ing letter OF congratulation to the secre-
tary OF the Old Home association: -
Norwich, Conn.,, Aug. u, 1903.
Mr.. J. NJ. Comstock, Secretary Old
Home Week Committee, Chelsea, VT.
Dear Sir-Representing the old Chel-
sea which furnished some Of your dis
tinguished founders, permit us to con-
graduate the beautiful town Of Chelsea,
VT, upon having attained its one hun
dred and twenty-ifth birthday and to.
extend our best wishes for its continued
prosperity and success.
"Very truly yours,
Costello Lippitt."
