Holograph, signed
Joseph Ricketson looks forward to Deborah Weston's visit in June. He gives news about the town: deaths, changes of residence, a case of defalcation, and an elopement. A slave who escaped from the South to New England came consigned to Joseph Ricketson "from S. H. Gay who received him from J[ames] McKim." The man has found considerable employment, and may perhaps be given constant employment by Joseph Ricketson. Ricketson thinks this case will have "a strong tendency to cement the Anti Slavery feeling here." Joseph Ricketson exerted himself on behalf of Washington Goode. There were 746 signatures obtained for the petition; yet communtation of the sentence was unanimously refused. There is a strong feeling against capital punishment. Joseph Ricketson enthusiastically praises the Reverend John Weiss
