Written on the cover, after she went down, with a pencil:
On coming down, I found your second letter of yesterday's date.* I
have read it; and am in hopes that the enclosed will in a great measure
answer your mother's expectations of me.
* See the next letter.
My most respectful acknowledgements to her for it, and for her very kind
admonitions.
You'll read to her what you please of the enclosed.
