Excerpt from Dedication of the Lord Howe Memorial Tablet: At St. Peter´s Church in the City of Albany on Memorial Sunday Extract from Minutes of the Vestry Meeting of St. Peter´s Church, Albany, held February 6th, 1914 "The Rector read a letter from Mrs. W. G. Rice proposing a memorial in the vestibule of St. Peters Church to Lord Howe, whose remains are buried in a vault beneath the vestibule. She submitted also a drawing by Marcus T. Reynolds, Esq., and an estimate of the cost of such a slab of black slate. "On motion of Mr. Pruyn, Mrs. Rice´s proposal was referred to the Committee on Memorials with authority to accept the tablet and to raise the sum specified. "Mr. Wadhams moved that the Clerk be requested to acknowledge the receipt of Mrs. Rice´s letter and to express to her the interest and appreciation of the Vestry in her undertaking and to state the action of the Vestry at this meeting. Carried." Letter of Mrs. William Gorham Rice February 4, 1914 To the Wardens and Vestrymen of St. Peters Church, Albany, N. Y. Dear Sirs: On July 6, 1758, a column of General Abercrombie´s army, which was marching toward Ticonderoga to meet the French in battle, was bewildered in the dense forest and, meeting with a company of French and Indians familiar with the country, was surprised and overcome at Trout Brook. The commander of this column was George Augustus Viscount Howe, the controlling spirit of the British army. In his death a hero and a man of supreme power of organization, as well as a generous and noble character, fell. There has been great discussion as to where Lord Howe was buried. Ticonderoga claims that he was buried near where he fell; Albany claims that he was buried in St. Peter´s Church.
