David McDonogh to Daniel Wells
-
Description
-
David is sick and not prepared to go to class today. "I have promised myself not to let a minute of my time pass unoccupied therefore I embrace this hour in which I ought to be reciting, as a fit opportunity of writing you a few lines..."
"We are all lamenting...the loss of our respected president, He expects to leave us, and the institution in April next and we do not know who we will get for a president..."
"Please let us, know whether we will have to remain here, or go with Dr. Junkin...I will also inquire of our father and see what his opinion is concerning this matter. But I suppose he will rather, that we should go with Dr. Junkin..."
David requests some more books and requests a musical instrument, either a German Flute or the blaronette (clarinet?).
David and Washington hope to hear from Wells soon. They have not had a letter from him for a while and they are afraid that he has "entirely forgotten them."
