By divine goodness, we enjoy
usual Health here; have met with nothing par‐
ticular since
Sir
Wheelock's Visit.
Mr.
Johnson has come down, and lives with one
Attis, would he
have lived with
Avery
and me if
the President had not hindered it, which was on account of
Attis, as he had nobody to live with him —
Mr. Beers has supplied us with a bed (not
the softest) and
clothing; we were obliged to run
in debt at
Esq. Shirman's for some necessaries;
we endeavour to live as prudent as is decent,
deeply sensible of the
importance of spending
the sacred Money with which we are maintained.
Jars
and Divisions in College, have strangely
sub‐
sided since the last Summer, Unanimity and
friend‐
ship seem to be universal among the Students,
The Freshman Class lately met with little
disturbance from their Superiors the seniors;
Frisbie I hear is as good a Scholar as any of his class, and was
stopped
today after Recitation by
Mr. Baldwin, who
advised him to study Horace
and 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
almost beyond Measure for his endearing Qualifications
and particularly his
Modesty
and
respect to his Superiors.
Avery
and I with our class have just begun Martin's
Grammar we hope to get a little understand
[gap: tear][guess: ing
of] Philosophy this Winter — The Students
[gap: tear][guess: apply]
themselves most diligently to Study and the Tutors are
indefatigable in their Endeavours to instruct us—
I hope abundantly to answer the End proposed in my
coming to College — for this End I humbly ask the
continuance of the Doctor's Prayers from, and Liberty
to subscribe myself, with Duty to
Madam,
