The kind interest you take in the general affairs of
Hazelwood, and that which was excited by the circumstance
in particular allow me to assume that it were wasting
your time to recount the unpleasant impression which
Mr Place's mind received at Midsummer last. Still
in fairly listening to counter-evidence, if evidence of
any sort had preceded the hasty judgment first formed
and in candidly giving up the pride of consitency
for the sake of justice to us and, as we pronounce, enlightened
self-interest of his own, Mr Place did himself
much credit and as far as my own feeling were
in question stood as before the mistake was made.

Far more serious was the result on the boys.
A very toilsome year had been gone through on our
part previously to that time in parrying and
counter working the effects of their temper and habits.
Very much indeed had been done, and had their parent
seen it his duty and his interest to make the vacation
subservient to that process — had even all proceeding
of an opposite tendency been avoided and thus the
lads joined the school in a state of mind as favourable
as they quited it in, I see no just cause for doubt.

I still respect and trust I ever shall esteem though his letter (No 3)
of Decr 4th must seal all correspondence betwixt us.

Prolix as I have been I feel compelled to trespass far
enough to thank you with heart and soul for your
Book of Fallacies — the best present that the press has
given to man.

I am
Dear Sir
with profound esteem
Your faithful servant
Thomas Wright Hill
