My Dear Sister

My mind is clear in making Grace familiar with the English grammar as soon as practicable; let her commence it at once. Let her not only study the principles of the language, but require her to parse a great deal, so as to make her familiar with the application of the principles of the language. Let all her studies be English until she should become a finished English scholar. I don't attach much importance to Latin for females, it is of value to every educated person but mostly to professional men. I am glad that Mr. A. is obtaining Mr. McCuchin. You may expect another letter from me in a week or so.

Your affect. Brother
