Letter from William Garland Barrett, 28 November 1835, Four Paths, Clarendon

Apparent lack of interest by adults in learning to read is due to intimidation of Baptist leaders. Hope lies in school work. Hopes his sisters will arrive with the schoolmasters. Cost of living. Locating of Mr Mayne. Hope of a mountain chapel.
