Revd ſr,
Experiance has taught me
that "Childwhood, and youth is vanity."
I might now been under your tuition, &
been Instructed in the most fundamental
principles of Religion, but alas, all this
I've forfeted by leaving you! I unfeign­
edly acknowledge I was to blame in leav­
ing you, but hope you are good anough
to pardon me, and once more recive me
into your School. Which I should e­
steem as the greatest favour.
I am, (Revd Sr with great respect,)
your most obedient Humble Servt
Immanuel Simon
Sr If you receive this young man
into your School, I hope you'll
be able to make a good one of him,
for I'm sure there's great need of it.
fron yr most Huml Servt
