===============NEW LONDON, Sept. 8th-1774=====
=====DEAR BROTHER,===============

I have a word to write and a moment to write it in. I
received yours of yesterday this morning. Agreeable to
your desire I will endeavour to get the cloth and carry it
on Saturday. I have no news. No liberty-pole is erected or
erecting here; but the people seem much more spirited than
they did before the alarm. Parson Peters of Hebron, I
hear, has had a second visit paid him by the sons of liberty
in Windham. His treatment, and the concessions he made
I have not as yet heard. I have not heard from home since
I came from there.
===============Your loving Brother=====

=====MR. E. HALE. ??LYME.===============

A letter from Hale to his friend the senior Dr.
??AEneas Munson, of New Haven, has been mentioned.
It runs as follows:

===============NEW LONDON, November 30, 1774=====

SIR: I am very happily situated here. I love my employment
; find many friends among strangers; have time
for scientific study; and seem to fill the place assigned me
with satisfaction. I have a school of more than thirty boys
to instruct, about half of them in Latin; and my salary is
satisfactory. During the summer I had a morning class of
young ladies--about a score--from five to seven o'clock;
so you see my time is pretty fully occupied, profitably, I
hope to my pupils and to their teacher.

Please accept for yourself and Mrs. Munson the grateful
thanks of one who will always remember the kindness he
ever experienced whenever he visited your abode.

===============Your friend=====
