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. Andrew Hall appears to have accused White of punishing his son too severely. In the letters, White denies Hall's accusations while defending his apparently strict approach to discipline. It is not certain whether both these letters were intended for Hall, or if one was written to another (unnamed) upset parent.

Transcription of diary entries, 1801-1803

A note indicates that White originally made these entries in his copies of the Massachusetts Register. It is unclear who prepared these transcriptions; they do not appear to be in White's hand.

Quaestiones historicae, June 21, 1803

A note indicates that these quaestiones were intended for freshmen.

Outlines/lecture notes, undated

These documents contain notes on a wide range of subjects, from Jewish synagogues to George Washington.

Eulogy of Samuel Shapleigh, April 1800

White entitled this document: Oration occasioned by the death of Samuel Shapleigh Esq. who died at Cambridge April 18th, 1800. The eulogy honors Samuel Shapleigh, who graduated with the Harvard College class of 1789 and served as both the Butler and Librarian of Harvard before his death in 1800.

Eulogy of George Washington, ca. 1800

This manuscript, which White entitled A faint sketch of the character, history & services of the Immortal Washington, appears to be a draft of the eulogy on Washington that he delivered publicly in Methuen and which was printed by Seth H. Moore and published by in February 1800.
