Excerpt from To Alexander Hosack, M. D., Of the City of New York, Who, for More Than Thirty Years: Was Among Bishop Wainwright's Warmest Friends The writer is disposed to think that the life of bishop wainwright will prove one of the most interesting vol umes of the series, especially to his young readers - for the simple reason that he has been able to collect such abundant materials concerning the early days Of this good man. In the case of some of those Prelates who have long been dead, this has proved a hopeless task. It would be esteemed a great favor, if any person hav ing in their possession interesting facts connected with the life of Bishops Croes, Provoost, Moore, of new-york, Jarvis, and Bowen, would send them to the writer, to be interwoven with what he has already gathered for the biographies Of these honored servants Of God.
