Cooke, George Willis, 1848-1923

"Unitarianism in America"

In the Monthly Journal, May, 1860, Vol.
I. pp. 230-240, were given the titles and authors.
[15] From a letter of Samuel K. Lothrop, afterward minister of the Brattle
Street Church.
[16] The following letter is of interest, not only because of the name of
the writer, but because it gives a very good idea of the work done by
the first missionaries of the Association. It is dated at
Northampton, Mass., October 9, 1827. "My dear Sir,--I designed when I
left you to send some earlier notice of my doings than this; but as
it has not been in my power to say much, I have said nothing. Mr.
Hall is preparing an account of his own missions, but thinks it not
worth while to send it to you till it is completed. The first Sabbath
after my arrival I preached here. The second, for the convenience of
the Greenfield people, an exchange was made, and I went to Deerfield,
and Dr. Willard went to Colrain. There were some unfavorable
circumstances which operated to diminish the audience, but they were
glad to see and hear him. The fourth Sabbath (which followed the
meeting of the Franklin Association) I preached at Greenfield, and
Mr. Bailey went to Colrain. I enclose his journal. The fifth Sabbath
at Deerfield, and Dr. Willard at Adams in Berkshire.
