By divine Goodnesſs, we enjoy
uſual Health here; have met with nothing par‐
ticular ſince
S.
r
Wheelock's Visit.
M.r
Johnſon has come down, & lives with one
Attis, wou'd he
have lived with
Avery
& me if
the President had not hinder'd it, which was on account of
Attis, as he had no Body to live with him —
M.r Beers has ſupplied us with a Bead (not
the ſoftest) &
cloathing; we were obliged to run
in debt
[illegible] at
Esq.r Shirman's for some Neceſaries;
we endeavour to live as prudent as is decent,
deeply sensible of the
importance of spending
the ſacred Money with which we are maintain'd.
Jarrs
& Divisions in College, have ſtrangely
ſub‐
sided since the last Summer, Unanimity &
Freind‐
ſhip seem to be universal among the Students,
The Freshman Claſs lately met with little
Disturbence from their Superiors the Seinors;
Frisbee I hear is as good a Scholar a
[illegible]sany of his Claſs, & was
ſtop'd
to day after Recitation by
Mr Baldwin, who
advis'd him to study Horarce
& Homer for the Dean's
Bounty;
Mather
makes very good way with his Claſs,
they are both very well liked in College; Jonne is loved
[illegible] almost beyond Measure for his endearing Qualifications
& particularly his
Modesty
&
respect to his Superiors.
Avery
& I with our Claſs have just begun Martin's
Grammar we hope to git a little understand
[gap: tear][guess: ing
of] Philosophy this Winter — The Students
[gap: tear][guess: apply]
themſelves most diligently to Study & the Tutors are
indefatigable in their Endeavours to instruct us—
I hope abundantly to answer the End propos'd in my
coming to College — for this End I humbly ask the
Continuence of the Doctor's Prayers forme, & Liberty
to subscribe myſ
leelf, with Duty to
Madam,
