but did not know my letters
would reach you. I was greatly in hopes
you would have come on to W. Point
while you were in H. York and was very
much discomfited when I heard you
had gone on home without letting me
hear from you. I have a very
excellent standing in my class. in
the first section in every thing and
have great hopes of doing well.
I have spent my time very pleasantly
hitherto but the study requisite is
incessant, and the discipline ex-
ceedingly rigid. I have seen Genl
Scott here since I came, and he
was very polite and attentive.
I am very much pleased with
Colonel Thayer, and indeed with
every thing at the institution.
If you would be so kind as to
send me on a Box of Mathematical
Instruments, and a copy of the
Cambridge Mathematics, you
would confer a great favor upon me
and render my situation much more
comfortable, or forward to Col. Thayer
the means of obtaining them; for
as I have no deposit, my more
necessary expenditures have run
me into debt. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
