Andover Jan 22 1862

Mr Warren

Dear freind I
received yours of the 20th this moment
I guess I did leave out the five
dollars you gave me in Boston
I dont think I shall got to
Norwich at present if you think
I had better not and only stay this
year here at Andover.

You wished me to write my
ideas about going south and teach
Negros. I have not patience
enough to be a teacher even if I
knew enough and if I had
both of these requisite qualities,
I have not enough philanthropy to
do so. I think it is a great
work and I honor them that are engaged
