Boston. 7th July 1827.
Dear Sir,
I recieved your letter near a week
ago, and should have answered it earlier, had
I not seen Dr Stow who told me that he should go
up on Thursday, and that there would be no use
in answering it earlier.

I have thought some of the plan you pro-
pove and see no very strong objection that will
certainly lie against it. It must be necessarily
be an experiment. The two things of difficulty
which occur to me, are first, the danger and health
to southern people of color, by change of climate and
habit at the same time- the New Zealand and
others, in the English Missionary Schools, and
the same is true of natives of southern climates of
the School of the Am. Board at Cornwall,- did
generally enjoy good health until the completion of
Studies - How it may be in this case, if proper
be taken, of course, cannot be known. It
is worth the trial. If it succeeds, much good
may be aaffected at Andover and other places,
in this way-

The other difficulty which occurs to me, is,
danger to the negroes from too much pro-
miscuous intercourse with the students, and
others. Such intercourse, with such men,
might, at first view seem the very thing needed
