[Samuel F. B. Morse, His Letters and Journals by Samuel F. B. Morse]@TWC D-Link bookSamuel F. B. Morse, His Letters and Journals CHAPTER I 13/34
The next morning I hired a horse and chaise of him to carry me to Weathersfield and arrived at Mr.Marsh's, who was very glad to see me and begged me to stay till S.Barrell went, which was the next Monday, for his mother would not let him go so soon, she was so glad to see him.
I was sorry to trouble them so much, but, as they desired it, and, as Samuel B.was not to go till then, I agreed to stay and hope you will not disapprove it, and am sorry I could not write you sooner to relieve your minds from your anxiety on my account, and am sorry for giving my good parents so much trouble and expense.
You expend and have expended a great deal more money upon me than I deserve, and granted me a great many of my requests, and I am sure I can certainly grant you one, that of being _economical_, which I shall certainly be and not get money to buy trifling things.
I begin to think _money_ of some importance and too great value to be thrown away. Yesterday morning about ten o'clock I set out for New Haven with S. Barrell and arrived well a little before dark.
I went directly to Dr. Dwight's, which I easily found, and delivered the letter to him, drank tea at his house, and then Mr.Sereno Dwight carried me to Mr.Davis's who had agreed to take me.
