He was married again, on July 15th, 1857, to Mary Anna Morrison, the daughter of Dr. R. H. Morrison, an eminent Presbyterian divine of North Carolina, and niece of the Honorable William Graham.

His resignation as Lieutenant and Brevet-Major of Artillery in the United States army took effect March, 1852 [February 29th].

His summer vacations were usually spent in visiting his friends in W

It ended his visits at Nathan Appleton's. To Lieber, March 22, 1847, Mss. Ticknor's door was closed to him; Ticknor and Sumner had no intercourse after this. They met casually, July 15, 1857, at the house of General Fox, in London, Ticknor leaving and Sumner arriving at the same moment.
