Professes his inability to compose his letters as his aunt desires. Agrees with her that a young man of whom she had written had disgraced his own family. Criticizes a professor of mathematics [George Blackburn] for constantly traveling. Notes that the "only thing remaining as an obstruction [to his liking the College and/or Williamsburg is] the length of the ladies [sic] tongues."
