Description
-
David's books have not come and the summer session will commence Wednesday, May 1st.
David and Dr. Yeomans talked about the close of his college days and "where I expect to be useful."
Dr. Yeomans suggests that David tell Lowrie that his friends think he should finish his medical profession before leaving the country.
"Drs. Green and Swift told me...that if I stood a good examination, I could get a medical degree after the first course of lectures. Dr. Abernethy says he will give me a written certificate next fall."
David hopes that Lowrie and John will allow for him to "perfect my medical profession before leaving this country for that of my ancestors."
David notes a possible misunderstanding of his tone, by Lowrie, in a previous letter.
