Excerpt from Life and Times of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg One hundred years have passed since, on the 7th of October, 1787, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, D. D., departed this life. J. Chr. Kunze, D. D., in a note found in the pamphlet containing his sermon preached in the Evangelical Lutheran church of the Holy Trinity at New York on the occasion of Muhlenberg's death, says: "A biography of this eminent man shall and must be given to the public. Years ago I read with pleasure a composition from his pen which will serve excellently as a basis of a biography, but will not satisfy the just expectations of those who know properly to estimate his merits. His rare humility there hides the most interesting circumstances, to which many witnesses still can testify. There are many important confidential communications from him in my possession. Almost every one of my brethren in the sacred office in these States is in possession of such communications. One of his sons, or whosoever it might be, would also do a good service to the friends of God's kingdom on earth by weaving all such communications into a somewhat extended biography or by simply publishing selections from them. I say this with the view of encouraging the possessors of such relics to take good care of them and diligently to collect them."
