Samuel Ayers Bradley
Letters from Webster
Letter to Samuel Ayers Bradley (January 9, 1800)
Webster writes to Bradley, and urges him to temporarily put aside his studies of the
law and to turn his thoughts to the time when he, too, was a student at Dartmouth.
Webster comments on the inclination of those still in College to look up to one such
as Bradley who had moved on to higher levels of education. Webster then proceeds upon
a commentary of the color of the structures in Hanvoer, and describes his reasons for
disliking a uniform "whiteness."

This short note describes Webster's disappointment at not having been able to
visit Bradley, and his hopes to do so in the future. Webster also inquires regarding
Bradley's health, although the matter does not seem particularly serious.
