I am fairly certain "Biship Whitaker's school" is supposed to be "Bishop Whitaker's school" but I am not sure if it was a typo or misspelling in the original.
there are quite a few typos in the Jaffe transcriptions — Doten had occasional smisspellings in the original diaries (usually unusual words) and sometimes his handwriting was hard to read, but this is clearly a typo and could be corrected.
