Title
David McDonogh to Daniel Wells
Description
David thanks Daniel Wells for the books and for responding to his letter.

David expresses frustration with his studies. He claims that he does not see what improvements he is making, "to be sure, I am as good as any in my class, but still it appears that I go to bed every night as ignorant as I was when I arose in the morning."

David and Washington do not board in town anymore. They moved from the town on October 29, 1839 up to the college where they now board.

David also complains that Wells did not send him a musical instrument.
