June - Letter from Dr. HH Pillsbury to Church in Hampstead.
My first membership was with the First Congregational Church at Hampstead. Soon after our marriage we both united with the Kirk St. Church of Lowell, Mass. Two years later we joined Dr. Marvins church at Medford Mass. and were members of this church for 16 years or more. Removing to Brooklyn, New York we with our oldest daughter became members of the Lee Avenue Congregational Church under the pastoral of Dr. Edward Eggleson. Ten years later, 1883, on account of the ill health of our daughter Carrie, we located at Auburn California. Our membership continued with this church 18 years. Our two sons became members at Auburn and as they were educated at Stanford University we were located in that vicinity for several years and became members of the Third Congregational Church at San Francisco and for one year members of the Congregational Church at Oakland. At present we are members of the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. This is a large church with a membership over 1,000 has two pastors, Dr. Day and his son. But whether in a larger or smaller church we have felt it our duty and privilege to do the little we can for the Master.Lake Tahoe, California.
