I have received information from a boatman of the name of Calloway , who lives near Lynchburg , that our lost trunk is in the possession of one Dan l Northcut , residing about 5 or 6 miles from that place, in Amherst . C. has not heard particularly what the trunk contains, but was told there were some blank books, and some blank paper in it—he has not heard of the instruments.—he understands...

I inclose you the terms of tuition at M r Girardin ’s Academy, which you will find to be 50 $ ⅌ annum, for a student who is even taught mathematics only: and which, (not that I know any thing about it) appears to me to be very high. I am sorry that I have not been able to procure such a situation in a private family for T.J.R. as you wish.— There are but few French families here in which it...

James sets off with the ewes in apparently good condition: it would be well however for them to be occasionally examined, as I am told that a part of the flock have the scab very badly. I suppose you know that by proper treatment, if taken in time, it may be cured very easily. The Pauler & Aquirrez are distinguishable by the marks P & A with tar.— James likewise carries the goblets, together...
