To the inhabitants of Newburyport : Friends and fellow-candidates for eternal felicity, While by the goodness of Providence we exist in the year 1793 ... I humbly conceive that 'tis not amiss for us to drop a tear to the memory of a number of our worthy former companions ... On the death of Capt. Thomas Newman [and twelve others] ... The above men were drowned in the year 1792, when belonging to Newburyport vessels. An elegiac epistle, to the widows of such of these men as had wives at the time of their death.
