Before me is a letter from Rev. Henry to Rev. Jonathan (4) Maltby. Dated: "Oxford, Ohio, March 6, 1849. "My dear 'aged Friend' in his 90th year."
"Your interesting communication is before me--interesting be- cause it comes from so venerable a source; also because it speaks of what has for some time past, engaged my thoughts, although I have yet done nothing, I have long contemplated an effort to obtain the information which you are seeking, and I hail with pleasure the pros- pect of having my wishes gratified.
I am almost ashamed, dear Sir, to let anyone know my present ignorance of my family. But I shall immediately take measures to increase my limited store of information, and shall take great pleasure in communicating to you the results of my inquiries--
