You must excuse me for not writing to you this week at the usual time, as I have had to review for several days past. Next week is examination week and I expect to get a terrible rushing. In my last letter I asked you to get me some cloth to make two suits of clothes; I hope you will attend to it immediately, as I havent got a single suit of clothes winter or summer but the one I have on my back. I wish you could get me a nice suit. I never was so much in need of clothes in my life as I am at present. I wish you would get the cloth so that I can have them made immediately after my arrival at home. The Proprietors of the boarding houses here, speak of charging one hundred and twenty ($120) for board next session; if they charge that much I dont expect, Father will send me back here. I hope you will be able to get cloth enough to make me a nice suit of clothes. The boots, you sent want worth a cent; I had scarcely worn them a week before they began to wear. They are completely worthless now. I will get a pair of shoes in Chapel Hill, if I can. I hope Ham Jones is not seriously wounded, but that he will soon recover. I am glad to hear Len has had such a nice time with his friends in Granville. I dont believe there are any slate pencils on the Hill, but if there are I will try to get Richard one. Tell Dick schoolmates consider pencils, &c public property and that he must never have more than one at a time, and if he does lend out always remember, to whom he lends, and make them give it back. Our church was not even represented in the convention. I dont see, why Mr Haughton could not have come himself. They had barely enough for a quorum. The Bishop preached twice; he is a real "high churchman." he thinks no one has a right to preach except those, who are ordained by a Bishop, who descend from the apostles (I mean spiritual descent of course). I have nothing to find fault with him for, as I am a "High Churchman" myself; but I do think it strange, that he should preach such doctrines, when several of his own brothers are Presbyterian ministers. I saw Mr Mason at convention; he looks well and hearty, and was very glad to see me. I will be home about about the sixth of June, Providence permitting I will let know for certain in last letter. Write soon to, your aff son Love to all.
