Title
David & Washington to Walter Lowrie
Description
David expresses concerns about his fellow servants "who are still under bondage in a strange land from their forefathers."

He wishes to know if the other servants will continue in servitude until he gets through with school, "or will they be sent off at the time appointed before?"

David talks about the trunk of books about the Classics that Lowrie sent to them. "I am now reading Caesar in Latin and Graeca Minora in Greek."
