Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription I took up school here two weeks ago and have gotten along very well, indeed. I have enjoyed myself much, and I think I have learned as much, as though I had been acting in the Capacity of a student. I have but nine scholars - I teach six hours in a day and the remainder of the time - I devote to my own studies. One of my scholars has been attending a school at Mt. Pleasant. He is receiving grammar and arithmetick and contemplates taking up history and probably physiology in a few days. I had in the parsing class such a phrase as this to come upon an auxiliary verb with and imperfect participle. I want to know your opinion about it. In the Latin as "was laboring" we parse it as a verb in the imperfect tense. Again. In the phrase "I saw the the man working in the field" I would parse the auxiliary and then the participle agreeing with, or belonging to man. Again, I am going, I am writing - and so on the Sun is rising &c. Analysis would dispense of them as subject and predicate
