Title
David & Washington to John McDonogh
Description
David and Washington have been introduced to Walter Lowrie's sons, Mr. Robert and Mr. John Lowrie.

"We are very glad indeed that they are come to live with us."

David confesses that he is "afraid that I will never learn to write a good hand." He observes that he can't write as well at Lafayette as he could when he was home. He says, "it can't be because I don't try."

David and Washington acknowledge receipt of a Johnson & Walker's dictionary from Mr. Lowrie.
