Excerpt from Sketch of the Rev. David Bacon On Friday, the 8th of August, Mr. David Bacon left Hartford with a view of visiting the Indian tribes bordering on Lake Erie, according to a resolve of the Trustees of the Missionary Society of Connecticut, noticed in our magazine for July. Previous to his departure he was examined by the Committee of Missions, who, highly approving of him as qualified for such a mission, unanimously appointed him to that service, and by prayer commended him to the Divine blessing. It is expected that he will obtain a guide and interpreter at New Stockbridge, or somewhere in that neighborhood, and then proceed on to the southwest part of Lake Erie, and visit the Indian tribes in that quarter. It is presumed he will have the prayers of all good people for a blessing on his labors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
