Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commemoration of the Battle of Harlem Plains on Its One Hundredth Anniversary by the New York Historical Society Dear Sir: - The Society has resolved upon xa out-door celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Harlem Plains, the 16th of September next. The gathering will be in the neighborhood of the scene of action, and it is intended to have a military pageant and an oration. It is the wish of the committee that the oration should be delivered by some New York gentleman, and our eyes naturally turn to you as a representative of old New York. I am instructed to earnestly request that you will undertake this duty, and to add that the resources of this Library will be placed at your disposal for any historical research you may desire to make in the preparation of an address. Dear Sir: - I beg to acknowledge your note of the 26th of June courteously advising me that I have been chosen to deliver the oration at an out-door celebration by the Historical Society of the Battle of Harlem Plains on its hundredth anniversary, the 16th of September, the gathering to be in the neighborhood of the scene of action, with a military pageant. I accept, sir, with thanks, the distinguished honor thus conferred upon me, and which your committee so kindly ask me to accept; and I will undertake the task with somewhat less of diffidence from the obliging assurance of your committee that the resources of the Library will be placed at my disposal for any aid I may require. Will you permit me to invoke your kind assistance and that of the Librarian in indicating the volumes and Mss. that bear upon the subject, as my own familiarity with the Library is not now what it was in former years when I had the pleasure of serving in the management.
