Excerpt from History of the Re-Union of the Sons and Daughters of Newport, July 4th, 1884 Ere the Re-Union day of '84 had been numbered with the past, many of the Sons and Daughters, who had come home to attend the celebration, realizing how delightful a success the occasion was, began to discuss the desirability of having its history written. Indeed at the reception held by the New York delegation, on the evening of the Fourth, formal action upon the subject was taken, a motion requesting the Secretary of the Re-Union Committee to undertake the task being passed with entire unanimity and pleasant cordiality. Then, too, not a few of the citizens of Newport joined in the request, and subsequently, on the evening of the fourth day of August, the Re-Union Committee adopted the following resolution: - Resolved, That the Secretary of our Committee be, and he hereby is, earnestly requested to prepare for publication a history of the late Re-Union, for which undertaking he is admirably qualified. Dear Sir: - By an official communication received from you to-day, I am reminded that the Committee, of which you were the efficient and painstaking Secretary, has concluded its labors in connection with the Re-Union of the Sons and Daughters of Newport, held July 4th, 1884. The Re-Union as such a success that it appears to me desirable its history should be written for preservation. I know of no one whose knowledge of the proceedings better qualifies him for this task than yourself. The General Committee of Arrangements and also the several delegations of the returned Sons and Daughters have already expressed this opinion.
