We are very glad of the opportunity to republish in this issue of the Journal a letter by Miss Mary Hatch Harrison of New Bern, N. C., which appeared in the Wilmington (N. C.) Dispatch, October 24, 1903.
Mrs. Eddy has in her possession photographed copies of the notice of her husband's death and of her brother's letter, taken from the Wilmington (N. C.) Chronicle as they appear in that paper in the issues of July 3, and August 21, 1844, respectively. These photographs are verified by the certificate of a notary public and were presented to Mrs. Eddy by Miss Harrison.
Of further interest in this matter is the following extract from an editorial obituary which appeared in 1845 in The Freemason's Monthly Magazine published by the late Charles W. Moore, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts.
