e, in Bath
adjoining said town of Landaff, and the three thousand acres in
Haverhill as above; and also I engage to give five hundred acres more
to the Honorable and Reverend Trust of said College, for the use of
said College, in a handsome form, round said College, if set in said
Haverhill; provided it is not set on lands already laid out, which if
it is to lay out said five hundred next adjoining, in a convenient
form, as also to make and raise a frame for a building two hundred
feet long and eighteen feet broad, one story high, or a frame or labor
to that value. The above I promise to perform at or before the first
day of November next. The frame I promise to set up on demand. Witness
my hand,

Jacob Bayley.

"To the Honorable and Reverend Trust of Dartmouth College."

Newburyport, March 6, 1770.

Reverend Sir: I have lately received an account from Plymouth of a
subscription being opened and there is already three thousand dollars
in labor, provisions, etc., subscribed; also another here worth one
thousand dollars, provided the College is fixed in Campton, Rumney, or
Plymouth; also being sensible that you will be at great expense to
move into a new country, have opened another subscription for Rev. Dr.
Wheelock, which will be generous; I have lately heard that the College
is to be fixed before the meeting of the trustees, which is the reason
of Mr. Call's journey, the bearer of this, who is a friend to the
Indian cause, and in time past has been a means of collecting a
considerable for them. I should be much obliged if you would inform me
the time the College will be fixed, and I will bring or send the
subscriptions, which I make no doubt will be generous when completed.
If it should not be agreeable to the trustees to fix the College in
any of the above mentioned towns, these subscriptions will not do any
hurt to the College nor Dr. Wheelock, but spur on others to outdo. I
think, where it is fixed, they ought to do generously, as it must help
them much. I conclude with our family's and my duty to you and Madam
Wheelock, and regards to all the family, and remain your most obedient
servant,

Moses Little.

"P. S. We hear that the most generous subscription is to carry the
College, provided the place is suitable; hope what we offer Dr.
Wheelock will not be any damage, for it is not done as a private
thing, but are willing the trustees and everybody else should
