500 $aAmos Farnsworth writes: "Temperance is the order of the day in this region. A real Washingtonian Soc[iety] has been formed, with the drunkards at the head of it." Charles L. Remond gave four lectures here; everybody was pleased. Farnsworth is surprised that Remond, with his limited information, is so efficient a lecturer. Sanderson's efforts in Townsend, which were followed up by (J. N. T.?) Tucker, resulted in the formation of an Old Organization society of 40 members. Farnsworth says: "You may have heard that Bancroft and I have been taken with a civil suit, & trial will be had in Lowell this month. I suppose we would delay it longer, but our purpose is now to bring it on the first chance. The deviltry of [George Frederick?] Farley is seen every where tampering with our witnesses, setting traps to entangle us, ..." Farnsworth asks if John A. Collins will testify; Farnsworth expects him to do so. Farnsworth expostulates on the doctrine of non-resistance in relation to the duty of acting as a witness in order to save a reputation or life. There is talk of railroads, and perhaps you may live to see one (go to Groton).
