David & Washington to Walter Lowrie

Item

Title
David & Washington to Walter Lowrie
Description
David writes that he and Washington have not received a letter from John since last March, but does receive papers from him nearly every month.

David feels that since he does receive those papers, John has not forgotten about them.

David expresses that Dr. Junkin allows him to attend his Bible class every Sunday. He has two Bible lessons a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On some days, he reads ten chapters in the Bible.

David is studying the same topics he studied last session with the addition of Geometry and French.

Washington is doing very well with his studies and "I think that he is better with Mr. Lowrie than he would be if he was in the Model because Mr. L takes great deal of pains with us; more so indeed than our former teacher."

David mentions that "the watch you sent me keeps very poor time, and has a habit of stopping and when she does go she goes a great deal too fast."
