In a letter the next day they refused the offers as follows: We know that you have a【C1】______opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the【C2】______of living of our young men, while【C3】______you, would be very great to you. We are【C4】______that you mean to do us【C5】______by your proposal and we thank you【C6】______. But you must know【C7】______different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will【C8】______not be【C9】______if our ideas of this kind of education happen【C10】______be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were【C11】______brought【C12】______at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners,【C13】______of every means of living in the woods — they were totally【C14】______for nothing. We are, however,【C15】______,【C16】______by your kind【C17】______, though we refuse to accept it and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a【C18】______of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in【C19】______we know, and make【C20】______of them. 【C1】
