IL.783.105
29 Dec 1783:22,23 (6/310)
London, October 22. . . A few days since the city of
Litchfield was honored by a most extraordinary visit: a
person from London, lately a chimney sweeper, arrived in a
post chaise and four, and took possession of a very
considerable property left him, by an old Aunt, amounting as
is generally supposed, to 18,000 l. and a farm about a mile
from the city, of about 250 acres freehold. . . [13 lines]
He has behaved exceeding liberal in every respect; has given
200 l. to the hospital; 200 l to the poor, and has
undertaken to furnish St. Peter's church with a new set of
bells.
