I was at Colo. Peter Randolph's about a Fortnight ago, & my Schooling falling into Discourse, he said he thought it would be to my Advantage to go to the College, & was desirous I should go, as indeed I am myself for several Reasons. In the first place as long as I stay at the Mountains the Loss of one fourth of my Time is inevitable, by Company's coming here & detaining me from School. And likewise my Absence will in a great Measure put a Stop to so much Company, & by that Means lessen the Expences of the Estate in House-Keeping. And on the other Hand by going to the College I shall get a more universal Acquaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; & I suppose I can pursue my Studies in the Greek & Latin as well there as here, & likewise learn something of the Mathematics. I shall be glad of your opinion.

Perhaps you should consult with that Venerable statesman, Mr. John Adams. I understand he and his wife, the Lovely Mrs. John Adams, both being of Excellent Character are known to Dispense of Sound and Dependable advice.

Oh no, Tom, not forward at all.
I was at Naz. with JC last week and He encourages you to go to College forthwith. Is your mother or sister not available to keep the Estate Cleanly? A more Universal Acquaintance can only be acquired by studying the Bible as well as the Greek and Latin. And who uses Mathematics? Certainly not we of Faith. But do, Tom, do take leave and spend 1/5th of your Time at the Mountains instead. Go Tell it on the Mountains.

No, I don't think your request is too forward. I think it's too backward. And by the way, thank you for the two points.
