I have just had that call from Ellen Lee, she told me that Isaac had about given up going to Foxcroft:- I am afraid it is not a good conclusion if he can succeed in getting schools and get a parcel of money to spend next spring at school it might be better than to go this fall, if he could earn money enough this winter to go three month next spring, and then earn enough next summer on Mr. Lee's farm or somewhere else, to go three month next fall; he might be getting long some in his studies. If he does not go to school this fall; he might be getting along some in his studies. If he does not go to school this fall I should think his plan of going down east where J. Walker kept, was a good one, or else among the island down this river, or in the provinces where schools are generally poor - Mrs. Rogers has engaged three new boarders-daughters of Dr. Bartlett - the eldest a young lady who gives construction on the piano, at her own room, by which she earns 80 dolls per quarter-the two younger are misses attending school - they have a parlour and sleeping room, and pay six dollars one of them will lodge with me, - then attend the invitation meeting - Mr: W has nearly made up his mind to removed to Monroe a village 16 miles from here on the road to Belfast and 8 from the Cutler place - he has flattering prospects there of a good stand for business and the probability in, - they will remove there in the course of the winter, and I shall find a boarding place near my school, it would save my clothes and perhaps my health and I might be more pleasantly situated too. If I do change, married couples his wife was Julia Godfrey. They live in the same house that Mr. Cutler did, only they occupy Mrs. Chase's part too, his mother lives with them. That would be in every respect ineligible place. If they will take me, in that ear I wd go into a company much more than now, shall need a new dress for which purpose I shall want to use two or three of the 18 when I get it which I will replace when I can so etc. -my weeks vacation comes about the third week on Dec a fortnight after thanksgiving and if it should be good sleighing there and if it should be convenient then I should like very much to go home. I could dismiss my sch the Friday eve, here being and start Sat. and return the next Sat. but we can see about it when the time comes. Lucy will relate a few particulars of the school for your special use, in spite of my fixed resolution to have no more scholars, than one to each desk, - I had a class of seven sent in from Miss Thurston's so far as valued that I could not well refuse to take them - one of them is named Bridget Mulligan a beautiful cognoman which the few first times it was called over , unavoidably brought a smile and stare into the faces of the scholars. _ I have divided my scholars into smaller classes this term and I like the arrangement. I have 4 classes in each different study and they recite standing on the platform in front of the tablet while I stand at the back side of the room another great improvement has been made on each side wall now, the roots are screwed down to the floor - chairs are on the back side and in the middle, and the two inner rows have the recitation seats five on each side, raised higher and nailed to the floor: this saves the noise of moving stools, which you know was a good annoyance. I have frequent applications to take scholars, but I refuse all except my old scholars, C.Woodman attend now. - Elizabeth Palmer is to build the fire all winter in consideration of a new Geog. study which I got for her, from the committee: I have only one kind of Geography in school. Smithsby this term - I have bought and made this black cap for Lucy instead of a net the whole cost 33 I am going to have one like it only not quite so gay. The whole pattern that Lucy's is, I am a little afraid you will have a scout border plain neat caps; I have bought some cotton cloth for use long night gowns which I will make up if I can before they go. - the seven shirt have been ready to be sent this some time, Eliab's are cut out and I will send them without making, as I suppose he will not need them very much at present.
