Description
-
John fears David is ungrateful and unprincipled.
John and Lowrie think of "discarding him at once," but John knows that once David finds out, he will "promise anything, to be permitted to stay in college...But do Sir, as you see fitting."
John has advised Washington to stay where he is "to study and prepare himself under your Reverend Missionaries there."
