In his letters Peters offers to give the Town of Southborough a parcel of land formerly occupied by the Pilgrim Evangelical Society to the Town of Southborough for use as a new High School. He closes one letter by stating “In conclusion, allow me to congratulate the Town on the liberal stand it has taken within the past week on the school question. It is a duty we owe our children, and a right they demand of us to give them every facility to enable them to procure an education; good teachers comfortable, respectable and well ventilated buildings are the great requisites, and although it may require large expenditures to obtain these privileges, we should remember that it will be paid back to us tenfold in the increased value of our property. [...] Educate the young. Remember that education is power, wealth, and when united with pureness of heart is more to be desired than all else the world can bestow.”
