es S. N. Howe, and the Louisburg journal, by SamuelLewis. Many years ago, the Esther Edwards diary disappeared. Withintwo years, by the merest accident, the original journal was found, when thepapers of the Reverend Charles Babbidge were being looked over by hisdaughter, after his death. It had been loaned to him by my uncle. Shereturned it to my father, but we felt that it belonged to a son of the originalfinder, so it has been kept by him ever since. I asked his permission tosend a copy to The Journal of American History for historical record,and he readily assented. His name was Frank C. Howe and he resided inMelrose, Massachusetts, but some weeks ago he died, and where the journalwill go now, I do not know. He valued it so highly that he kept it withhis private papers in a safe. The Louisburg portion of the journal is ownedby my cousin, Harriet E. Freeman of Boston. It was given to her by ouruncle, Samuel Lewis of Pepperell, who found it. She has had it decipheredand type-written.
