All my class were accepted as candidates for degrees.

Edwards is admitted a member of [Greek: Phi][Greek: Beta][Greek: Kappa] Society, and is appointed as monitor to the next Freshman Class.

Richard is chosen as one of the speakers the evening before Commencement.
"Edwards and Richard are both of them very steady and good scholars, and are much esteemed by the authority of college as well as their fellow students.
"As to my choice of a profession, I still think that I was made for a painter, and I would be obliged to you to make such arrangement with Mr.
Allston for my studying with him as you shall think expedient.

I should desire to study with him during the winter, and, as he expects to return to England in the spring, I should admire to be able to go with him." In answer to this letter his father wrote:-- CHARLESTOWN, July 26, 1810.
DEAR Finley,--I received your letter of the 22d to-day by mail.
On the subject of your future pursuits we will converse when I see you and when you get home.

It will be best for you to form no plans.
