500 $aJoseph Ricketson received the bundle of invitations for the fair and will see that they are delivered. Joey has come home to spend his vacation; he is much improved. Joseph Ricketson's brother, Daniel, made an arrangement with the railroad company to reduce the fares of all who attend the anti-slavery fair. He lists the visiting lecturers who have "richly treated" New Bedford audiences this winter. Joseph Ricketson says that "J. Russell Lowell (who stopped his Liberator several years since) Star[r] King & others are coming---our new minister Mr. Potter has preached boldly & fearlessly, I am happy to say." He tells about a handsome white Irish girl who was living with Mrs. Perry and taking care of her children. (Mrs. Perry was a black author.)
