          Governor [Caleb] Strong gave me a very
flattering written recommendation
when I left Northampton. I always 
go recomended from one clergyman
to another, and never set out
for a place until I am invited by at 
least one minister, one doctor and 
one lawyer.

After all I am tired of this 
wandering life. I would prefer six
hundred dollars a year in one set
situation, to three thhousand abroad
in this Tartar-like life.

Write to me immediately, directo
to Monson, until it is too
late for a letter to arrive here by
the 14th of March. Then direct to
Belchertown.

Your friend
