9 September 1869 • Buffalo, N.Y. (Buffalo Express, 11 Sept 69, UCCL 11512)
PERSONAL.
This is to inform lyceums that, after recently withdrawing Ⓐemendationfrom the lecture field Ⓐemendationfor next Winter, I have entered it again (until Jan. 10), because I was not able to cancel all my appointments, it being too late, now, to find lecturers Ⓐemendationto fill them. This is also to request that invitations for me be addressed to Mr. James Redpath, 20 Bromfield street, Boston, my lecture agent (instead of to me as heretofore), and thus some delay and inconvenience will be avoided.
