Excerpt from On Abraham Lincoln: Delivered at the Hall of Mechanics' Institute, Saint John, A. B., June 1, 1865, at the Invitation of the Citizens Gentlemen, - Having been present last evening, by your kind invitation, "to attend the memorial exercises at the Hall of the Mechanics' Institute, " in common with the citizens present I was much pleased to note the fine and fraternal feeling that pervaded the whole assembly. The oration of the occasion in memoriam of the death of the late President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, delivered by the Hon. Mr. Ellis, of Massachusetts, was in such good taste, and taking so large and comprehensive a view of the whole subject, that in my mind the publication and circulation of the same, would enable many in this City and Province to obtain a better knowledge of the late disturbance in the United States, than they have at present. If this could be accomplished without inconvenience, I hope it may be done, as I am well convinced it would give great satisfaction. And I would respectfully suggest that the proceedings in detail might be set out, which reflect such good taste on the part of the Committee of the United States' subjects residing in this city. I am respectfully, your friend, I. Woodward, Mayor. To E. D. Jewett, O. Small, A. Cushing, Esqrs. Committee. Saint John, June 2nd, 1865. Hon. C. M. Ellis. Dear Sir, - We enclose a note just received from his Worship, Mayor Woodward, expressing the desire that your address delivered last evening at the Hall of the Mechanics' Institute, should be published for general circulation.
