( 3 ) Anwer to the foregoing.

Dear Sir,

to your requet, I made every neceary inquiry; and am happy to inform you, that within about two miles of my reidence there is a gentleman of the church who keeps a chool, that bears a mot excellent character: his attention to the young gentlemen under his care is remarkable—his terms are moderate—and his mode of teaching univerally approved of: he wiely endeavours to render the arduous talk of learning more a pleaure than a toil; corrects with gentlens the everal errors of forward dipoitions; and intils uch noble principles in their young minds, that, as they improve in years, grow up with them. His firt and general care is making them write letters with eae and elegance.—This he does by putting the Letter Writer into their hands, and making each etablih a correpondence with another, while a certain day in the week is appropriated for examining their epitles, and very due encouragement is given to uch as excel in their productions. Should it pleae any friend to end his on to this chool, he may depend upon my contant viits to ee him and a faithful communication of what progres he makes. I hall alo endeavour to render the young gentleman's holidays as agreeable to him as poible; and, by hewing my affection for the on, prove how much I am his father'smot obedient, &c.
