His two young sons will sail in the next ship with a party of Friends; they are to go to school with James Fell at Worcester, there being no suitable schoolmaster here, and the city being full of ensnaring youth on the high road to destruction; he desires Fothergill to advise and direct his son Will in his next steps after he shall have done with Dr. Hunter; touches on American affairs.
