Memoirs of William Miller - Sylvester Bliss

It was on this occasion that he became
acquainted with Elder Joshua V. Himes, then
pastor of the Chardon-street church, Boston. Elder
H. had written to Mr. M., on the 19th of October,
inviting him to give a course of lectures in his
chapel. He now renewed his invitation, and got the
promise of a course of lectures in December.
Before commencing there, Mr. Miller gave a
second course of lectures in Stoughton, Mass.,
from the 24th to the 29th of November, and one in
Canton, Mass., from the 1st to the 6th of
December. In this last place, he writes to his son,
he “lectured three times on the last day, to a house
jammed full.” Pressing invitations for further
labors in the surrounding region had to be
disregarded, in order to fulfill his engagement in
the metropolis of New England.
He arrived in Boston on the 7th of December,
and from the 8th to the 16th lectured in the
Chardon-street chapel, -- his first course of lectures
in that city.
On the 12th of December Mr. Miller writes
