Dr Horwitz & myself will do ourselves the pleasure to wait on you tomorrow.— I send you by Lewis another Vol. of the 70—in which you will find more of the Art. wh you want, & to which you are very welcome.— The boys are good boys, & I feel attach’d to them, but the arrangement you propose, will conduce not only to their satisfaction but to their greater improvement—especially as I am situated...

By the unexpected arrival of company at our house on Sat y last, I was particularly disappointed in my wishes to see you on several subjects.
