My dear Son
I dont know but you think by this time that your Father has quite
forgotten you. I have money by me for you but have had no good
Opportunity to convey it to you nor do I expect one 'till by the Scholars
who Shall come down at Commincement. I dont expect to be at
Commincement, but ſhall endeavor to Send Horſes for you &
Ripley.
My School is now fixed at Cowas. but
when I Shall remove thither I cant yet gueſs. My Laſt
Letters from England are full of
Friendſhips, & Goodneſs.
I purpoſe next week D.V. to Set out for the Hot Spring near
Albany for my Health. I
deſign to take your Siſter Molle, and
Briſter to wait upon me. And perhaps
I Shall not be at Home before you return from College — I shall
order Mr.
Woodward to Settle all affairs there for me.
deliver the encloſed Letter to the Preſident and borrow money of Mr. Bears
Esq.r
Sherman and any others till Commincement to anſwer
your Neceſsities.
And above all keep a good acco.t with
Heaven. Give my Love to Johnsſon, Mather,
Ripley, Gurley &c. and accept a father's Love from, my
d.r ſon, Your affectionate
Father
Eleazar Wheelock
Mr John
Wheelock.
