It would be useless now to express my gratitude to you for this single act of kindness for you have put your children under so great obligations that they can never be too grateful and ought never to be able to convey to you what they feel. While I remained home last spring I heard you frequently express a wish to get a mare like your young mare. The is one on <name key="name0000165" reg="Chapel Hill, NC" type="place">Chapel Hill</name> which I think would be just such an one as you want, she is a mare of blood and is an excellent saddle-horse the same colour as your mare, and I think they would make an excellent match, she is spoken very highly of by all who know her, and is owned by my landlady <name key="pn000" reg="Nunn, Elizabeth "Betsy"" type="person" rend="yes">M<hi rend="sup">rs</hi> Nunn</name>, who wishes to sell her, she asks a hundred and 90 dollars, I told her perhaps you would take her, aknowing that you wanted such an one, and therefore I would write to you, and known whether you would buy her or not If you conclude to buy her you can remit a draft and I can ride her down next commencement. please write we <gap reason="[unrecovered]"/> immediately whether you will take her, or not. The business of the session has again commenced and I am in a very neat and warm room without a<pb id="unc06-93-p02" n="2"/>room-mate, nor do I intend to take a room-mate because good ones are so hard to find; I had one last session, I was compelled to take him, his brother wrote to me to take him in my room and there by he would be under some restraint. His brother had just graduated, and had left me his room one of the best rooms and some say the best in college and therefore I felt myself under some sort of obliation to him, for the first two months he made no noise studied hard and behaved himself well and properly and I liked him very much, the affection was reciprocated, but after a while he got a fiddle and of course got among the fiddlers in college idle and worthless fellows, then he began somewhat to absent himself from his room and finally he went and staid with one altogether although his trunk was in my room, so we parted and and very seldom see each other, after he left me he began to drink considerably, and to have wines and brandy continually, and boy of about 15, I am afraid he will not do much good in this world. I am in very good health and prepared to study hard.
