The lecture was finished in the morning, delivered in the afternoon. Warm congratulations at the close.... Such a sense of relief! On December 19 she notes the departure of dear Flossy and her dearest little Boy .... House very desolate without them. This boy is especially dear to Doctor Howe and myself. December 28. Maria Mitchell's Club lecture to-day was beautiful exceedingly. I might have envied her the steady grasp and unbroken advance of scientific study, did I not feel sure that God gives to each his own work. Mine, such as it is, would be helped and beautified by the knowledge which she imparts so easily, but perhaps all of her that I shall remember and try to follow is her spirit.
