Cincinnati June 19/78
My dear & kind teacher
Your postal just received & was glad to learn form it, that you and all your family are doing well. Although I have very much work on hand to accomplish before the coming week, yet, I never think my time so well employed, as when I think if employed for by writing to you. You have given me a great share of your time while being at your city; you shall now have mine, and the greatest part of it.
Am now at work to write my speech for the final entertainment of the H. U. C., which will take place on Sunday the 30th inst.. I can give you here merely the outline of the subject which I am writing about; but as to the merit of the composition & the manner in which I will deliver it, you will judge when you
when you come to this city and hear it spoken. The scene opened represented will be a club house, where two young men are found to be engaged in a very interesting argument, the one tries to convince the other that the ancient mode of living is preferable to the modern one; while the other insists upon and proves by historical facts that the modern style of living is, by far superior to the ancient. While they are thus arguing warmly, then I enter & stand aside to listen to their arguments. As soon as they perceive that I am in the room they call me up and request me to decide the questions which being prepared before hand for that invitation I try to refute the points given by both parties. The entire dialogue will be original speeches; and we did that on account to try ourselves, whether we are able to accomplish such an undertaking, alth though
very serious in its nature skilful judges will undoubtedly state their im-partial criticism and will discern and acknowledge its merit; the ignorant will, without knowing why, submit to the opinion expressed by the learned one.
I had no chance opportunity to see Mr. Ezekiel, but I will see him this afternoon. Write me please once more before you leave for this city & state on which train you will arrive, so that I may know positively where & when to meet you.
My love to all
Yours, as ever
