David & Washington to Walter Lowrie

Description
-
David and Washington write to Walter Lowrie thanking him for buying them watches for school.
David is concerned because he and Washington are about to lose their teacher because he is going to take possession of the model school.
David does not "think that there is anyone about the institution, that will take as much pains in teaching us as he did." David mentions that he can get along with very little teaching, "but Washington is now only half through with his Arithmetic and English Grammar and can't write any scarcely."
The departing teacher said that he would take Washington into the model school if Dr. Junkin had no objection. He told David to ask, but David told him that "I didn't like to ask him for fear he might think that I was taking some liberty with him, but I would write to you about it."
