[salute] Hond. Sir
I yesterday asked Mr. Pechigny if he thought it would do brother Charles any good
to begin upon Latin at present, he answered me,
{ 314 } that on the contrary, that he thought that it would spoil his taste for it; That he
must conjugate verbs about a month, and then he might begin upon Latin, he desired
me to ask you if you thought his proposition good and if you should he would Set Brother
Charles upon conjugating verbs immediately, and if you Should not he would keep him
upon Latin.

[ess]rs. Dana and Thaxter. I am your dutiful and affectionate Son,
