True, some preparations had jeen made, and one, or two, members of ;he Literary Society' whoir Mspices th« lecture wa*to J have baen -iren), arranged to^me^t at , the Eailway Itatjon m case he should" borne, but _*rcLty expected him, as it was ,tq, very iret and stormy ; and when - the 1 traib arrived thej were "pleased rather than;, otherwise that he had nof come.- x Thelance which was suggested was abandoned, not because ofcheihg: unable to procure a musician, but because of the paucity of attendance,;. there being; only about a dozen persons present. I do not und jrstand your remark "TJp to lionday evening no messagb "had been* received from the gallant knight to allay tbe anxious fears of the Grood Templars." If you mean the titerary Society, I beg to inform you tha^ they did receive an imple explanation, which " they .^wo^ld have considered sufficient, even had the IFjwther been favorable.-fl^i!im, Afc., J.i TOMMI-Sr -■—-;_ - LHpn.^Secretiary j Jjfolcombe Literary Society.
