University Jany 24th 1797.
Sir,
I received your letter containing
a request to get Allen & Hyde into a room with
a good companion, and also directions for
their education. The persons you wished
them to live with are so situatued as not
to have it in their power to receive them.
When you were here a cetain Mr. Brown
lived with his family in the kitchen.
As there were several circumstances
which rendered it improper for him to
stay there, after due warning
he has removed into the village. The house
he was in, was considered as convenient
for students who should not be able to
find room in the college. Mr. Crawford
with several others have applied for it,
and have permission to occupy it. We
have placed Mr. R. Moore in a room of the
president's house which was before held by
two students, in consequence of his being
obliged to give up up his share in the room
in which he formerly lived with Mr. Harris.

Upon looking over the situation of the rooms
in college I could find more into which he
could be admitted at all, so proper as the
one in which he was before with Frank Bur-
ton & Mr. Sneed. If there were any rooms that
had not their complement they were inhabited
