Title
David & Washington to Walter Lowrie
Description
David and Washington received a letter on March 21st from John McDonogh. His letter made them extremely happy, for they thought he had forgotten them. "But since reading this letter we are satisfied that he never can forget us and so that relieved our minds from that fantastical doubt."

David and Washington were examined by the Rev Dr. Junkin and Professor Dunn on the evening of March 29th. Both men approved of David and Washington's progress.

Dr. Junkin told David that he should commence to study Latin and Algebra. David intends to put that off until the beginning of next session, and to complete his knowledge of English Grammar and Arithmetic. He also intends to review his Grammar and Arithmetic during vacation, "that is, if Mr. Elliott will be so good as to teach me."
