David McDonogh to Daniel Wells

Description
-
David tells of a religious revival at Lafayette in which several students appear to be "convicted of their Great Sin; and two of them, we hope and trust, have come over to the flock of the Lord Jesus Christ."
The two he speaks of are Mr. C.E. thaws of Philadelphia and himself.
David is happy to hear that Washington was in good spirits when he left.
David is getting along well in his medical studies. He got a 72 in languages. "Dr. Abernethy says that he wants me to begin Bleeding and drawing Teeth; and he says that I must get a good Spring Lancet."
David asks for postage money- he is a dollar in debt.
