Indeed their Friends were so glad to see them, after so long an Absence, that they were almost continually out, & I could only spend a Couple of Evenings with them. There is an affair relative to Kirtland, the Indian Missionary, which I have mentioned to Col. Johnson to be communicated to you, not thinking it safe to commit it to writing. You are the only Person that can accomplish it, and it requires much Delicacy.

Your approbation of the Memorial gives me much Pleasure. But in Reality if it has any Merit, It should be placed to your own Account; asI only arranged the Materials with which you supplied me; & this I mentioned both to M* Tryon & the Society. --

By this Time I hope you are returned safe from your Excursions into the Indian Country. That every Felicity may attend you--& that you may be long continued a Blessing & an ornament to this Country, is the sincere Wish & Prayer of,

Worthy Sir, Your most affectionate much obliged & very humble Servt To Sir W= Johnson CuarLes Inexis.

REVD WM. ANDREWS TO SIR WM. JOHNSON. Sir,

I lately took the Liberty of acquainting You, that I had opened a Grammar School in this Town, and since that, I have determined on forming it into an Academy, and propose giving Instructions in Reading, Writing, Arithtnetic, Geography and History to those who may be designed to fill the Stations of active Life, exclusive of those who may be taught the Learned Languages --Book-keeping, and Merchants accompts to fit them for Business, or the Mechanic Arts --At present I have Thirteen Scholars, and as the Prices are moderate for teaching, and receiving Boarders, I have a good Prospect of getting more daily.
