I hopethere are a fet of men in the country, whofe bufinefsit is to examine fchools, and fupervife the educationof youth, who will imitate the fpirit of their forefathers,and who, if this matter fhall by all others beneglected, will have the virtue to make a proper application,and the honour of obtaining their requeft.Though they were lately unfuccefsful in an applicationfor themfelves, where more money was fought,ihey will, in this generous and neceflary meafure,meet with full fuccefs, when no money is alked foror defired.I have no doubt heard conjectures about the particularwriter or writers of your letter ; but as you havechofen to conceal your n"ames, 1 follow your example:fuch asAnd in order to convey to you my remarks,they are, I have privately fent them to one who I believeknows by what channel to communicate themto you.
