Joseph Ricketson is pleased that Debora Weston and Lizzy (Elizabeth Bates Chapman Laugel) are having such a pleasant time in the city of New York. He expresses his appreciation for Debora and Caroline Weston's "very valuable present." Joseph Ricketson has been in poor health. He gives an account of visitors and news of friends. There have been some fine preachers here, lately. He mentions the peace and abolition sermon of the Rev. Mr. Holland from Rochester, NY. He writes with enthusiasm about the Rev. John Weiss. He describes the "muss the Lyceum are in," and their disagreeable conduct toward "our course," which is a reference to the Lecture Association.
Includes envelope with the delivery address: Miss Debora Weston, Care Messrs. Weston & Gray, New York.
Also includes a newspaper clipping (information artifact) of a list of the Annual Course of Lectures sponsored by the New Bedford Lyceum, commencing on Oct. 11th, 1847, and a list of lectures sponsored by the Lecture Association.
