Letters from Daniel White to Andrew Hall, March 23, 1799

These two letters, both written on the same document, appear to be White's response to accusations from the father of one of his students at the Medford grammar school.

It is not certain whether both these letters were intended for Hall, or if one was written to another (unnamed) upset parent.
