Scope and Contents

I told Mr. Wythe that there was a particular direction in Mr. Randolph's will as to the education of his children. Mr. Wythe said he thought Richard Randolph might be benefitted, not by his instruction, but by pursuing a plan of study more closely and regularly with him than he would otherwise do and that, if he continued at College as long as he wished him to do, he might be useful to himself and an ornament to the College. Richard has not paid much attention to his books.
