my arrangements quite definite yet.

Have been severely threatened with force twice which has taken about a week away from me. Am all right now
 
Our school here is very flourishing. Whole number 170 day & evening. Some are necessarily somewhat irregular in attendance, but most, by some pains & our earnest requisition are very constant. Yesterday we had in all 165.- 95 day & 75 different ones in the evening. I teach as much as I can. When I can find them I am hiring teachers here, ie, if they are qualified in mind & heart. 

Shall start a school in Charlottesville soon. They have a tuition school there now & a Sabbath school of about 400, I hear.

Our scholars are making fine progress. One boy 12 years old in my wifes school learned the whole alphabet in reciting it four times. The whole time which he studied it could not have been much more than an hour. I have a large class of men whom I am taking much pains to teach Arithmetic. They learn processes much more easily than principles, but are doing well-  Most Truly Yrs
