Centennial Celebration - Orford, NH - September 7, 1865

Prescott, Arizona, July 6, 1865

My dear old friend Howard: I left California early in May last, and arrived at this, the capital of Arizona Territory, on June 19th; and among the first words of hope and friendly cheer to greet me on entering this new, and now the most dangerous section of our broad country, was an invitation from yourself, and from my fondly cherished New England home, to be present at a Centennial Celebration of the settlement of my dear, native Orford. - What sacred memories are thronging upon me! I deem it a duty to acknowledge your kindness, and with the deepest feelings of mingled sadness and heartfelt gratitude, I make the attempt in vain, to send you a fitting expression of my feelings, and of my entire sympathy of soul and being with the motives and object of the grand, the blessed occasion. No earthly event which I can imagine, would give me such joy, to assist and to share in, as this. But stern duty, or possibly a misguided sense of it, compels me to a cruel self-denial of this great happiness, and, instead, to toil yet a while in developing the vast hidden wealth of these western wilds. But no privations, no trials, no allurements, no time or space, can ever crush the bright hope that I may sometime return to New England, and finally pass my last years in blessed rest in my own native home.
With many assurances of love and esteem,
Elihu M. Corliss

P. S. The Apaches are very troublesome in this region, and the mails are uncertain in arriving. Have had no California or eastern news during the last month. But I am in hopes that this will reach you before the celebration, that you may all know that I fully appreciate the kindness and the occasion.
Yours, ever,
E. M. Corliss.
