   friend,  Mr., afterwards Rev. Dr. Jedidiah Morse, then a tutor in Yale
   College,  by  which  an  exchange  of duties and place was temporarily
   effected,  Mr. Holmes taking his place in the tutorship and the church
   agreeing `to pay the salry of Mr. Holmes to the time of his arrival to
   the  northward,'  and that of Mr. Morse from the time he set off to go
   to  them,  and  to  continue  one  month  after leaving. Mr. Morse was
