Dear [Johnny] 1

it–€™s very long since I–€™ve recd: any Letters from you. I recd: last Post a Letter from Doctr: Johnson who remembers his Love to you and is desirous that you should write to him, and he would be glad to know how the College goes on now–€” 2 I would have you gratify him w th a Letter next week per the Post, w ch . he has a right to expect from you, and altho I believe things go on well in the College now, yet I would not have you write more than may be communicated out of College. We remember our love to you, and I always am, dear Johnny, Y r Affect: Father.
