Maine Centennial Documentary Items Sprague's Journal of Maine History. Vol. VIII Special Number, June 1920 No. 1. page 79 Maine Centennial Documentary Items The following official documents are true copies of records of the State of Maine in the office of the Secretary of State at Augusta BATH, October 13th, 1820. DEAR SIR: The enclosed Proclamation I wish you to have printed on good paper, and in a way that will be creditable to us, you will direct to all the Clergimen you can ascertain, where they cannot be ascertained, I think it will be well to forward to the selectmen of the Towns, or the assessors of Plantations for their use-the Clerk and I am inclined to think you will circulate them as well as any way through the Post Office, taking care to pay the postage, which would be a grievous thing to a Clergiman. Should you adopt this mode, notice in the argus, to the Post Masters would be well to aid in having them forwarded to per- son's in Towns where there is no office. I expect to leave the last of this week for the County of Som- erset to be absent a short time, say 10 or 12 days. Respectfully your Humble Servant, WILLIAM KING. Ashur Ware, Esq.
