Excerpt from The Pilgrims in Their Three Homes, England, Holland, America On the 24th of February, 1890, the Boston Congregational Club passed the following resolution: - Whereas, Remembering the hospitality of the free republic of Holland, so generously bestowed upon the Pilgrims, who, after twelve years' residence in Amsterdam and Leyden, sailed from Delfshaven on a voyage which was completed at Plymouth Rock, it is fitting that we, members of Congregational Clubs throughout the United States, should unite in grateful recognition of Dutch hospitality, and at Delfshaven raise some durable token of our appreciation of both hosts and guests, - calling upon all Americans who honor alike the principles and the founders of the two republics to join in the enterprise. Therefore be it Resolved, That the Club heartily approves of the erection of such a commemorative monument.
