State of Connecticut BY HIS EXCELLENCY SIM E O N E. B. A LD WIN GOVERNOR Pursuant to a venerable custom, originating in 1639, the first year of the history of this Commonwealth, I appoint Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, as a day of Chaitkäniuiltſ; to Almighty God for the blessings of the year. While during its course, other countries have been and are the seat of war, and of all the sadness and suffering that war involves, our own land has been in perfect peace. For this; for the strong foundations of civil government that our fathers laid; for the long life of republican institu- tions in Connecticut as Colony and State; and for free America, I recommend that on the date above appointed, our people gather in their homes and churches to render reverent praise and thanks to the Giver of all good. Given under my hand and seal of the State, at the Capitol in Hartford, this first day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and eleven, and the independence of the United States, the one hundred and thirty-sixth.
