Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription of teaching, which you have so long and so faithfully followed. I know by the interest you took in their welfare while present with them, that it will not be lost now we are seperated. It is this together with the anticipation of receiving a letter in return, from one whom I respect, and love, which induces me to write at this time. It is now a fortnight since I left home, and I have not heard from one in Petersham, or from any of the teachers, or scholars. I have a small school of twenty one scholars. The time passes swiftly, and pleasantly, so I suppose I am not homesick at all but still it would be very pleasant to recieve a line from friends at a distance, much more so to recieve a call. I have the good luck to "board round;" am at my second boarding place, now, better pleased with it than I expected to be, but still think I should prefer boarding at one place, as there would be more time to study, for now they seem to think I must visit. However I have read Worcester History through, since I have been here, and shall try to finish Day's Algebra. School is not in session, today, and it seems as though I should rest some before
