A brief note by Edward Hitchcock that appears to be an introduction to a sermon intended to be preached the week of Thanksgiving. Hitchcock writes that it is a week when contemplating one's blessings is encouraged, and since a sermon is not delivered on the day itself, this is a good topic for the day's (i.e. Sunday's) meditation.
