along finely in school. All is peace & harmony & the scholars & people well pleased. The whole school makes 120. It is on the increase. Several men are expected soon. Jesse, poor fellow, is doing poorly. He does not go to school or have anything to do with it. He has a little difficulty with one of the boys & he declares he will not go to school while he stays. He is doing just about as good as nothing at all. Sarah does everything in her power to encourage him, but to little effect. He does not like to study, & I believe he is half determined not to. He ? out ? against his will, & he does not feel like prosecuting? his studies. It may be we shall get him engaged after awhile. Everything that can be done will be for him. Perhaps if you would write him a good long letter, showing your interest in him, it would do him good. You need not tell him anything that I have told you. I wish to hold all the influence I can over him & exert it in the best means possible. Abby & the baby are well. Write soon. Yours as ever G.S. Weaver
