Mv dear Dr. Beardr
I am very sorry ibiii my engagements
make it inconvenient for me to be at
the Norwalk celebration. I am inter—
ested in every detail of it. South Nor-
walk was my first home after leaving
my father's house. My first church was
there. Three of my children were born
there. and for nine years i was (mine
ly identified with the interests of the
town. One can never lose the influences
of those early years and their associa-
tions. and they come back to one with
an interest seldom gained by later days.
‘I will not burden you with the mem-
ories that throng in my mind as I write.
of leading citizens of a score of years
ago. of schools. of churches. of private
and social and public interests—~bllt I
beg that you will express to our fellow-
citizens my regret that I cannot be with
them. and my hopes for the substantial
and increasing prosperity of our old
town. Believe me
Faithfully yours,
JAMES M. TAYLOR.

committee has not led me as a sacri—

that has doubtless ,een often'souuded
before needs sounding a‘g‘ain. In the
town of Norwalk we have two small
cities with separate. municipal govern-
ments. I do not promise in ten min-
utes to advocate [the combination of
the two into one flrblrelass city. though
this does not-appear so impracticable
as is imagined. Their geographical
separation is now of the past. Elec-
tricity has removed this issue. Geo-
graphically the cities are one. Yet I
speak not for union but unity. which
means harmony. concord. sympathy,
"The new corner is made to under-
stand at once that there is a wide gtili.’

that the. two little cities are far apart
in interests, and that they cannot live
