To Thomas Jefferson from Frederick Winslow Hatch, 9 May 1823
Friday—
Dear Sir
It seems to be my duty to suspend for a few days the operations of my little School in order to attend the Convention.
We shall lose about eight days which I shall require to be return’d by a deduction from the period of vacation shd I give any—Lewis’ progress is as usual, rapid—Benjn is improving very fast & James has surmounted the greatest obstacles that oppos’d his improvement in Greek. In a few months I hope you will have it in your power to hear these boys in their Latin with satisfaction to yourself—
I am, dear Sir, Very respecty & affecty Yours
F W Hatch
