I notice that that old fellow, john Dickinson, the Governor . 3-I , ,I - Pax., ' , , , , of Pennsylvania, is working hard, with Benny Rush and a few others, s . 1.vz:w .'u,E.- Tig-E312-j w,.-fibqig' la-RU AZ., 'lm . . , , , l-T Alb ifjtg'Q13.'1xf.RR1:1Xi'-Q to establish some sort of a school.

That man Dickinson is the same one who sti1'red up such a connnotion with his ' Fi1l'lll6l S Letters' during the late war. Now we shall see whether he can arf as well as laik. ' 1733, Sept. 16. Dickinson had a lot of his cronies at his house in Philadelphia last night. I actually believe they are going to put up a little red school house somewhere. Benny Rush has got grit 5 he risked his life when he signed that Independence paper, and I guess he will push this thing through. 1783, Nov. 4. Well. I declare!

They have located at Carlisle, away out i11 Cumberland countv 1 9 where they have a two-story house with only four rooms-a sort of play school. But they are going to bring Charlie Nisbet all the way over from Scotland totake the helm. I wonder what l1e u 'ill think of the size 21 -
