Excerpt from Mrs. Abigail Bayley: A Pilgrim of Ninety Years In examining the history of the pilgrim, the Writer has been led to review his own. Left motherless in his youth, he was received with parental kindness into her family, and for months shared its hospitality. And now at this late period he is permitted to make some returns of gratitude to the surviving pilgrim. This is in brief the history of the preparation of the following Memoir. That it may be the means of advancing essentially the inter ests of the Redeemer's kingdom in the world; that the pilgrim may still live for the generations to come, in the hallowed influences of her piety, is the earnest desire and prayer of the writer. And now first Of all, he this biography to God and next, to that respectable honored Society, under whose auspices it goes forth into the world. Daniel O. Morton.
