- Abstract
- Upon hearing that the Sheriff of Herkimer had offered the Hamilton Oneida Academy for sale, Thornton writes George to find out how such an "accursed proceeding" could take place. Despite some doubts to its survival, Thornton still supports it, and wants to know why George and Samuel are not trustees. He wants some action by the trustees in order to prevent such a transaction that would mortify the whole family. P.S. He expounds on the topic of business and their own future.
