I have been waiting– thinking every day I would certainly hear when you were going to have your class– as you wrote meEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. you would send me notice one week ahead. yesterday I was told the class was in session now. I know you must receive many letters of inquiry from parties who never carry it any father. I wrote you the second time asking if you could tell me when you would have the next class I was so anxious Not to miss it. I want to go west this spring but do not want to go until after I have been through your class. I have been advised to go into other classes in Boston– but have made up my mind I want to study with you & shall wait patiently some word from you. Dr ShermanEditorial Note: Bradford Sherman or Roger Sherman said he would write & speak to you of me– do not know whether he did or not.
