Cranch had already told me of the paper with great praise, in a letter which told me also of your birthnight orgie with Boott and John Holmes.
In November, Nathan Appleton, Patrick Tracy Jackson, Kirk Boott, Warren Dutton, Paul Moody, and John W. Boott, visited the canal, which they now controlled, perambulated the ground, and planned for the future.

The young city met with a serious loss April 11, 1837, in the sudden death of Kirk Boott. A county jail was built in 1838, and the Nashua and Lowell Railroad was opened for travel.

To grow old after his manner is of itself to grow important. I said that Mr. Boott was not demonstrative or sentimental. Tender-hearted he was and faithful as few men are, in friendship.
