Description

Part I: Washington to Walter Lowrie
David has added a Geography to his course list.
"We have very fine weather to day but Sunday and Monday it was very cold and mudy but to day the sun shines beautiful the birds are to be seen on all sides of us singin their lively songs as if it was in the middle of summer."
The winter session will close on March 23.
Part II: David to Walter Lowrie
"It appears that our people at home are in a perilous situation."
A portion of the levee on the east side of the Mississippi broke last month and swallowed up the Willow Grove Hotel. This property belongs entirely to David's father.
David reminds Lowrie that he and Washington are in debt to Mr. Leigh for two gallons of oil (each $1.12).
