Excerpt from Eliot Memorial: Sketches Historical and Biographical of the Eliot Church and Society, Boston The four Deacons of the Eliot Church - Messrs. Timothy Smith, Alpine mclean, Frederick C. Russell, and Clarence T. Mooar - communicated a joint and earnest written request that I should prepare such a work. They stated that my long connection with the Church had made me acquainted with many members now deceased, and with many facts in our collective life known to no one else now living. Emphasis was given to a suggestion that there should be special freedom in recording items of autobiography.

Without such freedom there would have been constraint and awkwardness in an endeavor not to appear egotistic.
