The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

First four words solve themselves.
Has NH forgotten?
I’ve heard some of their voters come from Mass.
I work in NH. My company has two facilities on opposite sides of the Merrimack, right on the Massachusetts border.
That one wrote itself for me.. for sure.
My two cents
You realize that Vermont was not one of the original 13. They did not want to form a Union with slaveholders.
Oh, well done!
A couple false starts;
8th word by most common letter and letter pattern.
That gives 5th word, and then the first four words are obvious.
A bit over a minute.
И лодка, на которой ты ехал
🤣
Quick, with a correct starting guess at the 9th word, then the rest followed.
