User-Contributed Transcription It is not probable that I shall be able to attend school any this season. I am blessed with the kindest of parents, who are willing to do for me, anything which lies in their power, but having had a great deal of sickness, in this family and many losses, of property; they are not able to do so much for me, as they otherwise would. I shall therefore, be under the necessity of finding some occupation by which I may obtain a livelihood. What or where that may be I know not.To you, Mr. Kendall I believe I may freely speak. To you, then I would say, persevere in your course of usefulness, always remembering , that "The path of duty is the only path of safety." Please to write as often as you can, and when you change your place of residence if you will inform me where you stop, you will confer on me a great favor. I should not, perhaps, have written so soon, had I not feared you would go where my letter would not reach you. Receive this from your ever grateful friend Benjamin L. DraperTo Mr. N. Kendall
