[2] he brings with him two old messmates & disrates Thomas to make room for them. this has irritated me very much. my Mother wants to get him removed to another vessel. my opinion is that he should quit navy, & emigrate with me. why should we burden our friends here? we can exist there with independance. sooner or later I must support myself & tis absurd to waste time at college.
