<dd>Amos Farnsworth writes that Liberty Hall is finished, and [William] Miller has delivered a course of lectures in it. Dudley Phelps, "as usual, lectured against him &amp; his doctrines." Farnsworth has heard that Edward Beecher is preaching the same sentiments in Boston to crowded houses. Farnsworth reports that "many here were enraged, &amp; even threatened a mob." William Miller announces that Jesus Christ will appear on earth in the year 1844. Farnsworth tells of preparations for the local 4th of July celebrations. As it is a Democratic affair, Amos Farnsworth can consistently make one of the party. Farnsworth says: "Now had I the gift of tongues, what an admirable chance at the dinner table to give an A.S. [Anti-Slavery] speech." He has asked William Lloyd Garrison to lecture in the evening. He was surprised to see so many new faces at the Middlesex County Anti-Slavery meeting; Farnsworth found the reason for this and heard about a letter by Amos A. Phelps to Dudley Phelps, "calling on him to rally all who were opposed to G[arrison] or the Mass. Society."</dd>
