August 29,SUNDAY. It’s down in the programme of next Wednesday’s grand celebration, it seems, that the mayor, and the civic Di Majores generally, attend service at Trinity Church. Hodges tells me he has got together a choir of thirty. The music is mostly his own. A sort of temporary rood-screen has been erected under the chancel arch, which is to be covered with flowers.

The church decor sounds lovely. I hope they get a break in the temperatures before the yellow fever gets too widespread. They call it “Bronze John” in New Orleans, because it’s kind of a jinx to say “yellow fever.”

I tweeted a link to this post and the Aug 29 post to current day Trinity Church (@TrinityWallSt) and they kindly responded by posting an article from their online newsletter from a few years ago.
