My dear Uncle
I arrived here safe on Wednesday

cars so that I had to ride on the outside on
the platform until I arrived at Worcester

when
the Post Master
inside as we were going down as steep grade
I arrived here at 6 ½ o’clock and there I felt
the necessity of the letter that Uncle wrote to Mr Parmely

and for the want of it I had to introduce myself
I like this place better than I thought I should when
I first arrived, the boys are very nice companions but
there are only five of them that board here, there are
38 scholars 21 boys and 13 girls. There are no girls board

is a very nice woman she tells us we may ask for any-
-thing to just when we want it, and that is more than
Mrs. Duff
Arithmetic and Grammar. If there is anything else
Uncle wishes me to study he will please write me.
I have not recieved a newspaper yet not ever the
standard I wish Uncle would please ask Henry
to send me one once in sometimes.
I shall write to Aunty

Your affectionate Nephew
