Short .5" splits starting at the ends of one mailing fold. A transcript will be included. <br /><br />Aldrich was a member of the 12th Rhode Island Infantry. The regiment mustered into service on 18 October 1862. It was immediately deployed to Washington DC and assigned to Casey's Division. It encamped near Arlington Heights and Fairfax Seminary in Northern Virginia as part of the Union's defense of the Capitol following its defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run Manassas. In this letter Aldrich reports: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"As to the country it is all ruend hear if the North was in the same shap as the south is I think they might began to grumble for all you can see har is tents for a fur as you can see and the ground is all trampld up wee are a mile beyond fair fax cemnary and 2 miles this side Alxander on the East fort Elsworth on the south fort lions on the west fort Worth on the north fort Blanker we are about in the midle of them sence I left Washington I have not seen a fence nor a stoon wal nor cant see one for as far as I can see and I can see for 20 miles. . . . you think that five hundred are a good meney but if you bee on revue whare thare is 25000 as thare was last Sunaday you might think tham was a fine. they say that foks don't sleep with dead focks but I don't bleeve it for I have sleep with ded fooks thay were fixen our tent and the ground was uneven and in digen it level wee dug one foot deap we dug out a man that was bared in a fue days after the battle of bull run under whare I sleep but all of the ground is full of Dead hear" <p>He also mentions that he visited Alexandria where he saw the place of Colonel Ellsworth murder purchased some song sheets and was horrified by the number and condition of the sick and wounded: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"I was yesterday to Alxandr and see where Col Alwerth was kiled in the Marchall Hotell and when I come by the north of Alxander and see the wounded and sick and disabled solgers thare is 16000 of them the most disgraded beans that I ever see in my life. . . . You can tell the girls that I bot some songs for them when I was to Alxander but lost them out of my pocket but I will get some more for them"<p>The occupation of Northern Virginia was peaceful with the sole exception of Alexandria where Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth was killed at the Marshall House hotel while removing the Confederate flag flying above it. For seven weeks Union forts were built along the Potomac River and planning was begun to construct a ring of camps to protect Washington. Following the Union defeat at Bull Run makeshift camps and forts were built throughout the Arlington region to defend direct approaches to the Capitol. Forts Ellsworth Lyon Worth and Blenker later renamed Reynolds were some of the most significant. <br /><br /> books

177236416Boston: Edes and Gill 1772. 43 1 blank pp but lacking the half title. Disbound light to moderate foxing. Good. Ownership signature "Chas. Stearns 1780" at head of title. <br/><br/> A desirable pre-Revolutionary War sermon. Parsons locates God's hand in all events "either when we enjoy the advantages of good civil government or find that it is altered and become grievous." The British heritage of good civil government is now disturbed: "The scene is changed- Grievances are complain'd of- In Great Britain- In Ireland- In America- In this Province.- The day is become gloomy and dark and the waters are troubled." <br/> Even in England "A King may be misled by evil counsellors- He may be corrupted by bad ministers and give into those measures which are injurious to the subject." As God has brought us safely out of the "howling wilderness" He will do so today when "our liberties have been invaded and hostile measures made use of to bring us to submit to things which are grievous." <br/>FIRST EDITION.

His father immigrated from Portugal to New York about 1730 and became a merchant. The family moved to Newport Rhode Island in 1765. Moses Seixas married Jochebed Levy in 1770 and they had eight children. He was one of the organizers and first cashier of the Bank of Rhode Island which conducted business in his house until 1818. After the British occupied Newport during the Revolutionary War Seixas remained in Newport but was among the signers of a document supporting the patriot cause. In 1790 he was the president of the Congregation Yeshuat Israel later Touro Synagogue in Newport. He was also a charter member and first grand master of St. John's Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in Newport.</p><p><b>William Channing</b> 1751-1793 was born in Newport Rhode Island and graduated from the College of New Jersey Princeton in 1769. In 1773 he married Lucy Ellery daughter of William Ellery a Newport lawyer who signed the Declaration of Independence and they had nine children. Channing was elected Attorney General of Rhode Island in 1777 and when Rhode Island ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1790 Channing became the first federal District Attorney. One of his sons was the famous Unitarian preacher William Ellery Channing 1780-1742.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>From 15 Sephardic families who arrived in 1658 Newport Rhode Island's Jewish community grew to be the largest in the colonies. Many Jews left during the Revolutionary War when Newport was occupied by the British. A significant number returned when the British left in 1779. By the time Rhode Island became a state there were approximately 300 Jews in the thriving Newport community.</p><p>Starting while on his way to New York to assume the presidency in April of 1789 George Washington received many messages from civic fraternal and religious organizations offering congratulations praise of his deeds in war peace and politics prayers on behalf of congregations or constituents. Washington's replies justly count among his most famous pronouncements setting a boldly inclusive tone that helped our new nation survive and expand.</p><p>After the first session of the first Congress Washington set out on a tour of the New England states except for Rhode Island which had yet to ratify the Constitution. It finally did so in May of 1790 and three days after the second session of Congress adjourned Washington Jefferson and others set out to visit Newport. On August 18 Washington and his entourage were greeted with four addresses written as open letters and read in a public ceremony. First the town then from all the Christian clergy then the Masonic order and finally from the Hebrew Congregation.</p><p>Moses Seixas on behalf of the Congregation Kahal Kadosh Yeshuat Israel congratulated Washington on his ascendancy to the Presidency. He invoked the language of the Revolution in arguing that Jews should be entitled to the same privileges as an American of any other religious denomination. Having been previously "deprived…of the invaluable rights of free Citizens" Seixas expressed his hopes for the success of the new "government erected by the majesty of the people a government which to bigotry gives no sanction—to persecution no assistance; but generously affording to all liberty of conscience."</p><p>Seixas' letter moved President Washington who echoed Seixas' words and built on them to make his most celebrated statement on religious freedom. He responded as soon as he returned to the capital New York assuring the Hebrew congregation that "happily the Government of the United States which gives to bigotry no sanction to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support. It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my Administration and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the Children of the Stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid."</p><p>Washington's addresses responding to religious congregations included those of Baptist Congregational Dutch Reformed Episcopalian German Lutheran German Reformed Jewish Protestant Presbyterian Quaker Roman Catholic and other denominations.</p><p>Today we understand that Washington and his fellow Founding Fathers were oblivious to the realities of other kinds of oppression. Knowing what we know now how can we still value these slave-owners' declamations on freedom While acknowledging Washington's ownership of his full share of the universal biases of his age we can and should still treasure his "to bigotry no sanction" letter as a powerful testament to the promise of America. In the 218 years since Washington responded to Seixas' address has anyone come up with a better definition of the benefits and responsibilities of American citizenship</p><p>Washington's original letter was acquired by the Morris Morgenstern Foundation in 1948 and is on long-term loan to the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. Seixas' letter to Washington is in the Library of Congress and Seixas' retained copy was acquired by the Morgenstern Foundation in 1949 and is with Washington's letter.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine condition with intersecting folds and slight bit of foxing.</p> books
