[. . .] in addition to the revision of his Greek & Latin Grammar, has read about two books in the N Testament, a part of Cicero’s Orations. Horace—The school Edition of Tacitus, Aesops Fables, & about half of Graeca Minora. He reads with a judgment which I have seldom witness’d & never seen excell’d.—

Benjamin has labor’d with all his might & with Lewis has lost no time. These boys have read & revis’d with care several books of Caesar—Phaedrus—& The Aeneid, besides the frequent revision of their Grammar & daily exercises in Mairs Introduction.

Our next session will commence the 19th Jany, when we shall introduce a course of reading, writing & Arithmetic. The Greek Grammars are expected in a few days.—
