Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Consecration of the Harmony Grove Cemetery: In Salem, June 14, 1840

I am directed by the Trustees of the Harmony Grove Cemetery, to express the obligations under which they feel themselves to you, for the very excellent Address delivered at the Consecration of the Grounds, and with this return of thanks for the same, to request of you a Copy for the Press.

Salem, June 16, 1840.

Sir,

I thank you and the Trustees of the Harmony Grove Cemetery for your kind expressions of satisfaction with the Address, delivered at the Consecration of the Grounds. Nothing could have been more unexpected, than the call upon ma to deliver this Address; and I regret that the circumstances under which it was written prevented a more thorough consideration of the subject. Yet the motives, which induced me to comply with the request of the Trustees to deliver it, forbid my withholding the manuscript from their disposal. I submit it to them as it was prepared, containing several passages, which, from want of time, were omitted in the delivery.
