The end of this letter is missing. Joseph Ricketson writes that he was prevented in the last minute from attending the festival. Mr. (William Henry) Furness preached the ordination sermon for Mr. Potter, which was "the most beautiful sermon I ever heard---Mr. Potter is imbued with the same beautiful spirit and is doing a great work." The Lyceum lectures have, with a few exceptions, been miserable. Wendell Phillips gave a "powerful & beautiful lecture on John Brown." Joseph Ricketson describes the skating rage in New Bedford.
