My dear Son,

I have written you one letter since my return which I hope you have received-- since I wrote I have receievd a letter from you to your Mama is which you express a desire to come home before vacation. I presume this desire arises from your anxiety for the health of your little brothers but as they are very hearty & well & all the rest of the family are also. I presume you will be contented to stay till vacation which is now near at hand & when we shall be very glad to see you & intend during the vacation to take you to Woodstock.

Mr Poor who dined with us yesterday gives us avery good account of you & I hope we shall find you greatly improved. All that is wanting to make you all that we wish is attention to your studies & the advice of your Parents & Instructors. You can enjoy the best advantages for improvement & I hope you will make a good use of them. Take care to be the most studious, attentive & best scholar in your class-- Your Mama, Nancy & your little brothers send their love to you. I am, my dear son, your affectionate parent J Morse
