Many may have already heard that one of our living historians, Michael Halbert, passed away on 6 June. He was a wonderful and kind man as well as an excellent living historian. Will include a link to his obituary in the comments as he also had a very interesting career.

We want to send our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his family to recognize such a loss so quickly to all that he touched. We will miss him.

Our group is now getting ready for our next event on the 4th of July!

Mr. Paca, near the Liberty Bell, will welcome you into his home to talk about the signing of the declaration with Mr. Thomas Stone and Mr. Carroll of Carrollton who were also at the congress when the decision was made to sign the letter. Mr. Chase must remain home with his wife who is right now very very ill as any good husband would do.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Johnson enjoying a small respite at Mr. Paca's invitation before leading the Secret Committee of Correspondence that he was appointed to.

Mr. Johnson did support our Declaration of Independence for Marylanders, and came back to Annapolis to help raise the militia for defense in preparation of conflict there. Before he left, he nominated Mr. George Washington as commander-in-chief of the armies surrounding Boston.

Mrs. Ogle is quite taken with her copy of Common Sense by an Gentleman, later to know the author as Thomas Paine. She wholeheartedly approves of the pamphlet, she had it bound into a little book by Mr. Green who just a year ago took over printing the Maryland Gazette.

Mrs. Carroll, whose husband is the Barrister, enjoying Mr. Paca's gardens from the door of the Summer House.

"Wine raises the imagination, and quickens the memory, but at the same time it removes the guard which reason places upon the tongue, and makes us speak the truths we would otherwise conceal... Wine heightens indifference into love, love into jealousy, and jealousy into madness."

Mrs. Carroll of Carrollton with Mrs. Peale discussing their gardens.

"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

“Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.”
