Excerpt from The Town of Hingham in the Late Civil War: With Sketches of Its Soldiers and Sailors To Hon. Benjamin W. Harris, our Representative in Congress from the Second District, we are under especial obligations. Our numerous calls for time and services have uniformly received attention, and could scarcely have been answered with greater promptitude, or more fully and acceptably. He has won our esteem as a faithful public servant, and is tendered our heartiest thanks. Our acknowledgments are also due to Capt. Lemuel Pope, of Hingham, for assistance rendered in revising the portion of the volume relating to the Navy; a work to which he devoted much valuable time, and one which a large experience in this department of the service during the war eminently fitted him to perform. John D. Long, Esq, will please accept our thanks for his ready and cheerful compliance with our request that he would provide the introduction to the chapter on the dead. Arthur Lincoln, Esq, also is tendered our acknowledgments fora like ready service in supplying the memorial sketch of President Lincoln.
