ADDENDA.
Page 83. Read in parenthesis seventh line "The corner stone of Erie is now in the keeping of Col. J. H. Bliss for preservation." Also, "The site of Ft. Presqu'ile is a few feet east of where corner stone stood." G. Dallas Albert, Esq., of Latrobe, is of a committee appointed recently by the legislature to mark by tablets the sites of Pennsylvania's Forts (es- pecially those erected previous to 1783).
Mrs. Mary Snowdon and Major Martin Strong, of Waterford, have re- ported on Ft. LeBoeuf. In Erie, Col. J. H. Bliss, Messrs. J. Sill and J. S. Goodwin have reported to the author that Ft. Presqu'ile was bounded north, by Erie Harbor; east, by Mill Creek; south, by Second street and west by Parade street, the site now owned and occupied by Paradine & McCarthy as a brick yard.
Page 106. It is said the name of Thomas Wilson is given as first Post- master in Erie in the records at headquarters. In Mr. Wilson's biography (page 206), contributed by his widow, this does not appear.
Page 389. Preceding these words "because of Mr. Converse's devotion," etc., read " He proposed in 1858 the word thon, as a contracted and solidi- fied form of that one, which word is now to be found in the Standard Dic- tionary."
Page 393. For "Lavina," read "Lavinia."
Page 410. Read before Mr. Rine, "Dr. Wells."
Page 411. After the word Philadelphia insert "Written by Rev. J. C. Chapman, of Park Church."
Page 429. After "President," insert "Mr. Wm. M. Arbuckle and Miss L. G. Sanford were its early, efficient friends."
Page 443. In the seventh line substitute "for twenty years, with the prospect of purchasing them at that time," with this, "but in 1894 the works were destroyed by fire, the First National Bank holding a mortgage against them for $90,000."
PROVIDENCE, R. I., October 6, 1894.
MISS LAURA G. SANFORD.
Dear Madam :- At a meeting of this Society (the Rhode Island Histori- cal Society) held on the 2d instant, you were unanimously elected a cor- responding member, and it affords me pleasure to be the medium of com- munication thereof.
When your name was brought forward by our committee, the president of the Society, Judge Rogers, paid a marked compliment to you as an his- torian, expressing thanks for what you have done to honor the memory of worthy Rhode Island citizens.
Very respectfully yours, AMOS PERRY, Secretary.
The above has reference to the officers and men engaged in the war of 1812, who were largely from Rhode Island. The Buffaio Historical Society paid a similar compliment. The Mathematical Magazine, Washington, D. C., and many editorials commend it in the high- est terms.
