Description:

Peters thinks the matter of whether to go to Ireland should be decided between Smith and Jay. The trustees are willing to leave Smith to his own direction. Peters has informed the clergy of Smith’s role in gaining contributions from the clergy in England. He apologizes for the delay in sending an address of thanks to the king. Mr. Jonhanson has given notice and is leaving the schools. They have advertised for a new Mathematical Master. There is controversy over whether all Masters are to come from England and Dr. Allison has allowed his temper to flare on this issue. Peters advises Smith to be prudent in his dealings with Allison.
