As we are together having one interest, we feel safer for if one goes astray in the least,- unconsciously of course,- the other one stands ready to call to an account.

We should neither of us have taken it upon ourselves to teach, only we feel we must obey your requests.

You have no one among your students who wish more sincerely to abide by your directions. I speak for Mrs Webster as well as myself. I only hope to be able to go to you more than once again.
