Excerpt from The Chronicles of Middletown MY dear sir: Through the kindness of good friends in dear old Middletown, I have been permitted to read the articles published by you in the journal, entitled Chronicles of Middletown. To say that I have been interested, is to state very mildly the feeling of happi ness that I have experienced, in common with many others of the readers of the journal. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for your labor in searching out the old records, that will be but incompletely paid by the purchase of your forthcoming book. Human nature is sometimes slow in expressing its appreciation, and on this account I am all the more anxious to assure you of our gratitude for the good work you have done, and will continue to do. My residence in Middletown run from 1846 to 1862, and thus the most impressible years of my life were spent in association with Middletown people. A person remem bers the associates and scenes of youth long after he has forgotten those encountered in after years. During the early days of the War of the Rebellion, I was the only newsboy in the town, and was the first to carry papers from house to house, and to sell them on the streets; and in this way I came to know more than half the people in the town. I flatter myself that people liked to see me, in those days, not that they cared much for me, but they were anxious to get the papers, filled as they always were with news of the great war. If suggestions are in order, I should advise that your Chronicles include a history of the newspapers of the town.
