S: And of Later Churches There, as Sketched By, Prof. John Wesley Churchill, in an Address to the Nashua Historical Society, December 16, 1885 The following address by Prof. John Wesley Churchill is now printed, for the first time, in enduring form. It was published originally in the columns of the Nashua Daily Telegraph and of the Nashua Daily Gazette immediately after its delivery. Copies of these newspapers containing the address can be found at present only in private hands, are very few, and have been kept with extreme care lest they become lost or destroyed. Unfortunately they are disfigured with many typographical errors and other mistakes such as are hardly avoidable in hasty journalistic work. In the hope to correct such faults, the editor of this book wrote to the widow of Prof. Churchill, asking if his manuscript of the address could be had, to aid in the work. The following gracious letter came in reply. Andover, Mass., April 16, 1917. Mr. Charles C. Morgan: - My dear Sir, - Circumstances have delayed an answer to your kind and courteous letter of March 19. I regret to tell you that the manuscript you desire is not to be found among my files of papers. I have a distinct remembrance that the address was written under adverse circumstances as to time and place, on account of Mr. Churchill's seminary duties in Andover and the research work in Nashua. Almost all of the writing was accomplished while journeying between the two places, and the manuscript was necessarily marred by erasures and interlining.
