My dear D
I wrote to you about half-a year ago stating that I wished to
place Horace with a private tutor after Christmas, which has just
passed; & received from you a very kind answer, in consequence of
which & from not having then heard of a Tutor, I sent Horace with
your permission— back to school until, as I stated in my letter,
after Easter.— I have now agreed with the Rev C. R Rouse to
receive him, & he has written to you as he tells me for Horace's
character. M
Pray believe me | My dear D
