� 76 -April- 2.
Yesterday afternoon I set out for Washington on business, and returned this evening.
On the way I fell in with Capt. Hennesy of Patterson N. Jersey and found that he was a brother Christian -- and that his pastor was Dr. Babcock who used to preach to us in the William St. Baptist Church. New Bedford, and who was afterward President of Waterville College. I had a very pleasant conversation with him indeed and on the strength of their mutual acquaintance with[inserted] and esteem for Dr. Babcock we have resolved to correspond. He goes home on a furlough. X X X
